✨ NAME ✨

smuxi-server — remote engine for Smuxi chat client

like, that's the whole vibe. it's the engine. it's remote. it's for Smuxi. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

smuxi-server [-dh] [--add-user] [--modify-user] [--delete-user]
             [--list-users] [--username=username] [--password=password]
             [--optimize-message-buffers=action]

look at her. so many little flags. so much main character energy. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so smuxi-server is a remote engine for the Smuxi chat client. the way that it works is: multiple Smuxi frontends can connect to it and get kept in sync with each other 🔥 — and when literally none of them are connected? she still keeps track and stays connected to the servers. iconic behavior honestly. she's not like other engines.

heads up bestie: some options are mutually exclusive. you can't just throw all of them at her at once, she's not gonna take it.

when you don't pass any of the special options? she just starts normally, like the queen she is 👑. the options are as follows:

  • -d, --debug — turn on debugging, babes. debug logs get sent to $XDG_DATA_HOME/smuxi/smuxi-server.log, and older logs get moved to the date of usage. so your receipts are always dated 📝✨
  • -h, --help — shows the arguments Smuxi takes. your little cheat sheet. your study guide. your bestie telling you what's what 🫶
  • --version — shows version information. flex the numbers 💅
  • --add-user — adds a user to the server. new friend unlocked 🎀
  • --delete-user — deletes a user from the server. okay girl, we're removing someone from the group chat 💀
  • --modify-user — changes a user's properties. glow-up arc, but for a user account ✨
  • --list-users — lists the users of the server. roll call!! 📋
  • --username=username — when you're adding, deleting, or modifying a user, use that username. gotta name names 🗣️
  • --password=password — when adding or modifying a user, use that password. protect it like it's your diary 🔐
  • --optimize-message-buffers=action — optimizes the message buffers. valid values are none, defrag, index, and all. four choices, four vibes, pick your fighter 🌈

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • $XDG_DATA_HOME/smuxi/share/smuxi-server.log — smuxi debug log 📄
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smuxi/smuxi-engine.ini — smuxi engine config ⚙️

💜 SIGNALS 💜

Smuxi will handle and catch these signals, so don't worry, she's emotionally available:

  • SIGINT — gracefully exits the server. bye bestie, no drama 🫶
  • SIGTERM — gracefully exits the server. also bye bestie, also no drama 🫶

like the way that both of them are graceful?? we love a clean exit. periodt. 💅
