💖 NAME 💖

sendsms — a command line tool to send SMSes using gnokii ✨ (yes bestie, this is the sendsms(1) page from the gnokii manual, and we're about to make it make sense 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sendsms [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: sendsms lets you send an SMS with gnokii without having to know the actual syntax of the gnokii command. No cap. 🫶

It's built on top of dialog, and it lets you fire off a text SMS while you pick your recipients either from the phone's address book or by typing the number in yourself, manually. Main character energy fr fr. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Here's everything you can throw at it, bestie:

• --debug|-D — May bother with more debugging messages. For debugging purpose. 🐛
• --simul[ate], -S — Simulation mode. Doesn't really send SMS by phone. Only simulates. For debugging purpose. (Fake it till you make it, but like, on purpose. 💀)
• --forceSMread, -s — Forces sendsms to read phonebook from the SIM card, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE. 📇
• --forceMEread, -m — Forces sendsms to read phonebook from phone memory, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE. 📱
• --skipgnokiicheck, -K — Skip the test of the presence of binary gnokii. (It must be somewhere in your $PATH). It allows you to try this script program, even if you don't have gnokii already. ;) 🎀
• --smsset, --setsms — Allows you to preset a SMS message from STDIN. (pipe or input redirection). This message will be proposed on the SMS message field during the program input cycle. 💌
• --help, -h, /h — display this help and exit 🆘
• --version, -V — output version information and exit" (yes the original really does end with a stray " and honestly? iconic. leave her alone 😭)

NOTE: If you require to pickup number from phone's memory (or from SIM card), for the first time, it anyway reads phonebook from your mobile phone. (It may take a while... please, be patient ;-) ⏳
