SPECTOOLS(1)

💖 SPECTOOLS(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this whole thing lives in the General Commands Manual, and the star of the show is spectool_net. it's the little network server bestie that spectool_gtk connects to. that's it, that's the vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

spectool_net — the network server for the spectool_gtk program. she serves, she connects, she slays. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

spectool_net [-b secs] [-p port] [-a bind address]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, spectool_net is a network server. and spectool_gtk can connect to it. that's the whole relationship, it's giving very much "two icons in a situationship, but make it sockets." 💅 no cap.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

this program is a well-behaved GNU citizen, okay? it follows the usual GNU command line syntax, and long options start with two dashes (that's - -, two of them, periodt). here's the full rundown, nothing skipped, nothing hidden:

• -h, --help — shows you a summary of the options. the "bestie pls explain" button fr fr. 🦋
• -b secs, --broadcast secs — sends a broadcast announce. takes secs. 📣
• -p port, --port port — uses an alternate port. takes port. 🚪
• -a address, --bindaddr address — binds to a specific address. takes address. literally anchoring herself, iconic. ⚓
