💖 sexsend(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about sexsend and honestly? it's giving iconic. 🌈

✨ NAME ✨

sexsend — send strem via a Stream EXchange (SEX) server 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sexsend [OPTION]... [SEX-URL/]recipient [stream]

like, that's the whole vibe. options first, then who you're sending to, then the stream. simple. slay. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents briefly the sexsend command. brief queen energy. ✨

SEX is a network wide UNIX pipe with a relay in between. that's it, that's the whole concept, and honestly the way that works is lowkey genius 🧚

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so like, shoutout Debian for making sure we had something to read, no cap 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v — runs sexsend in verbose mode, aka it tells you everything it's doing because communication is key bestie 💬
  • -V — show version. just the version. quick lil vibe check 👑
  • -t timeout — timeout in seconds (waiting for recipient). so like, how long you're willing to sit there waiting for your person to show up 🕰️

also, plot twist: recipient may be "public" or "anonymous" or . — three whole moods, pick your fighter ⭐

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

this is the moment, the main character moment, watch this:

tail -f /var/log/syslog | sexsend fex.domain.example/admin log

piping a live log stream straight into sexsend and out to fex.domain.example/admin, with log as the stream name. obsessed. 🔥
