💖 sockaddr — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, we're reading the sockaddr(1) page from GNU Telephony, and honestly? it's a little bop. it's short, it's sweet, it tells you exactly what your resolver is doing. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

sockaddr — literally just: list address resolution. that's the whole job. she lists. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sockaddr [options] host service

that's it. that's the shape of it. a host, a service, some options if you're feeling fancy. 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — this command lists out the resolved (lookup) addresses for a given host and service name combination. you hand her a host, you hand her a service, she goes and asks the resolver, and then she tells you what came back.

and if the resolver is feeling generous and returns multiple addresses? she lists each valid address. every single one. no gatekeeping. 👑

oh and also — services can be specified by name or by port number. whichever vibe you're on. iykyk. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --udp — look up a udp service. yeah. that one. 🫶
  • --help — outputs the help screen for the user. it's giving helpful. it's giving "read me bestie". 💖
