πŸ’– RT-PREF...S-VIEWER(1) β€” User Contributed Perl Documentation πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the rt-preferences-viewer era ✨ (that's the manual name, btw, in case the fancy formatting fooled you β€” it's a perl page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe 🫢)


🌸 NAME 🌸

rt-preferences-viewer β€” show user defined preferences πŸ’…

so like, it shows you the preferences people have actually set for themselves. no cap.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rt-preferences-viewer

rt-preferences-viewer --user=falcone
    show only the falcone user's preferences

rt-preferences-viewer --option=EmailFrequency
    show users who have set the EmailFrequency config option

look at her just running with zero args and living her truth 😌 or you can narrow it down β€” either to one specific user, or to everyone who set a particular option. both. iconic.


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

This script shows user settings of preferences πŸ’–

and here's the tea, listen up: if a user is just vibing on the system default, they will not be listed. not in the lineup, not on the list, not invited. periodt. πŸ™ˆ

so what you see is only the people who actually went out of their way to set something themselves.

You can limit your search to a specific user name or user id, or to users with a particular option set πŸŽ€ β€” pick your filter, queen, and let her cook.


🫢 SO WHAT'S THE VIBE 🫢

  • want one user's whole preferences situation? aim at that user by name πŸ’œ
  • got a numeric id instead? that's valid too, she takes ids 😭
  • want to know who out there set some specific config option? filter by that option and find your people πŸ”₯
  • default-users? not showing up. it's giving "if you didn't customize it, you're not in the group chat" πŸ’€

ngl, the whole thing is lowkey simple and highkey useful. no flags to memorize beyond the limiting ones, no surprises. it's just a little window into who set what. main character energy for a script with almost no screen time. πŸ‘‘

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ’…βœ¨ this lil writeup came to you via perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-07-20, under the title RT-PREF...S-VIEWER(1) β€” mwah, see you in the next man page πŸŽ€πŸ’–πŸŒˆ
