✨ rundig(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so we're in the general commands manual section of the manual pages, and today's main character is rundig 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

rundig — a sample script that creates a search database for ht://Dig 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

rundig [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. rundig is a sample script whose whole job is to create a search database for the ht://Dig search engine ✨ that's it, that's the vibe. it's giving "little helper script that does one thing and does it well" and honestly? we love that for it 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v — Verbose mode. this cranks up the verbosity of the program, so it'll yap more at you about what it's doing. not me needing the play-by-play 😭
  • -a — Use alternate work files. lowkey a whole different set of files, highkey still the same script 🦋
  • -s — Print statistics about the dig after completion. so when the dig is done it hands you the receipts 📊
  • -c configfile — Use alternate config file. swap in a different config file if the default one isn't giving what it needs to give 🎀
