💖 roarclientpass — bestie edition 💖

okay so literally welcome to the roarclientpass(1) page, from the System User's Manual, and lemme tell you this little icon is doing SO much behind the scenes 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

roarclientpass — passing clients to and creating new listen sockets on a RoarAudio sound server 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

roarclientpass [OPTIONS]...

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you just throw OPTIONS at it and it goes 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so bestie, here's the tea 🍓: this program lets you pass new clients to a RoarAudio sound server — acting as a little proxy in the middle, main character energy fr fr — and it also lets you add new listen sockets to a running server. no cap, it just slides new connections in like they were always invited. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --server SERVER — sets the server hostname. where's the server at, bestie, tell me 🗣️
• --stdin — the client is on stdin. yes, that one.
• --stdout — the client is on stdout. yep, that one.
• --stdio — literally the same as --stdin --stdout combined, slay. you might use this when you're being runed from a inetd (that's the original's words, i'm just the messenger 💀). iconic for inetd situations.
• --stderr — the client is on stderr. BUT. and this is the important part — beside making stderr known as the client fh, it will disable error output on stderr. so you MUST use this if this program is being used from inetd or similar tools, or you're gonna have a bad time 🙈
• --client-fh FH — the client is on FH. this is basically the same as --client-fh on roard(1). iykyk 🫶
• --proto PROTO — sets the protocol used by the client. defaults to RoarAudio ✨
• --byteorder BO — sets the byteorder used by the client. defaults to network byte order 🦋
• --listen — the client is a listen connection. and no, this is NOT the same as --mode listen. don't get it twisted bestie, they are two whole different things 💅
• --mode MODE — sets the mode of operation, and your choices are none, listen or connect. defaults to none. pick your fighter 🎀
• --bind BIND — sets the host/node/path for mode listen and connect. where you're binding, bestie 🌸
• --port PORT — sets the port for mode listen and connect. the number!! the door!! 🔥
• --help — shows this help. classic. always there for you 💖
