./SIAC-HOSTDB(1)

💖 ./SIAC-HOSTDB(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the siac manual — this one's all about siac-hostdb, your lil backstage pass to the renter's host database. yes, THE host database. the one with all the hosts. we're going in 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

./siac-hostdb — interact with the renter's host database, fr fr. it's giving matchmaker but for hosts 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

./siac hostdb

that's it. that's the whole vibe. run it, get host info, slay 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's what you can do with this thing: you can view the list of active hosts, you can view the list of all hosts, or you can query specific hosts. main character energy, honestly 👑

and here's the juicy part — if the -v flag is set, you get a list of recent scans, with the most recent scan all the way on the right. the way that works is: a '0' means that host was offline 💀 and a '1' means that host was online ✨. so when you're squinting at that row of digits, just remember: zero = ghosted, one = alive and thriving 🌸

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -n, --numhosts=0 — number of hosts to display from the hostdb. default is 0, so if you want actual hosts showing up, you're gonna want to set this, bestie 🙈
• -v, --verbose[=false] — display full hostdb information. the whole tea. every detail. it defaults to false, so you gotta opt in 🫶

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones come from the parent command, so they're not even this command's own, they're just passed down like family recipes 💜

• -a, --addr="localhost:9980" — which host/port to communicate with (i.e. the host/port siad is listening on). default is "localhost:9980", so if your siad is chilling somewhere else, this is the flag you wanna talk to 🔥
