💅 sexxx(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense 💅

okay bestie, so this is the manual for sexx from section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and honestly? the vibes are immaculate and the documentation is a little chaotic. we're gonna fix the chaos (the reading experience) without touching a single fact (the facts). periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

sexx — send strem via a Stream EXchange (SEX) server 🦋

(yes, "strem." that's the actual spelling in the original and I am not touching it, it's iconic, it stays.)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sexsend [-v] [-g] [-c] [-u [SEX-URL/]user] [-s stream] [files...]
sexsend [-v] [-g] [-u [SEX-URL/]user] [-s stream] | ...
not me noticing it says sexsend in the synopsis and the page is called sexx — I don't make the rules, I just report them faithfully 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page documents briefly the sexx command. SEX is a network wide UNIX pipe with a relay in between. that's the whole concept and honestly it's giving genius 🫶 like, a pipe. but across the internet. with a relay in the middle. lowkey obsessed.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so bestie, if you were looking for upstream docs — there are none. we made this. you're welcome 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -g — show transfer rate. so you can watch the numbers go brrr and feel something 🌈
  • -v — runs sexx in verbose mode. it will talk to you. a lot. main character energy ✨
  • -q — quiet mode. the opposite vibe. shhh 🤫
  • -c — compress files. smaller files, faster feelings 🎀
  • -u SEX-URL/user — SEX-URL and user (default: use FEXID/FEXXX) 🔥
  • -s stream — stream name (default: xx) ⭐
reminder that -q and -c show up here in OPTIONS but not in the SYNOPSIS. that's just how it is. I'm not editorialising, I'm just saying. 🙈

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

sexx -s config /etc /usr/local/etc
sexx > backup.tar

first one: yeet /etc and /usr/local/etc down the config stream. second one: redirect it all into backup.tar because we love a classic shell moment 💜
