💖 SSDPY-DISCOVER(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the ssdpy-discover page from the General Commands Manual — yeah, section 1, the commands section, we love her 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ssdpy-discover — Run an SSDP M-SEARCH

no cap, that's the whole job description. she searches. she finds. she serves. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssdpy-discover [options] ST

like… options first, then the ST. the ST is not optional bestie, it's literally the last word. 🎀

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so here's the vibe: ssdpy-discover discovers SSDP devices on the network by sending an M-SEARCH packet. that's it. that's the whole thing. it yells into the network and the devices yell back. iconic behavior honestly. 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here come the flags, and yes we're going through all of them, because skipping options is not the move. 🙈

• ST — the type of device to search for (example ssdp:all). this is your positional argument, she's the main character of the command line. 🌟
• -h, --help — show the program's built-in help message and exit. your little "wait what do i do again" button. 🥺
• -V, --version — show the program's version number and exit. so you can flex which build you're on. 💅
• -v, --verbose — increase verbosity. turn the volume up on the gossip. more words, more info. 🔥
• -6, --ipv6 — listen on IPv6 instead of IPv4. the newer address era, we respect her. 🌈
• -t, --ttl TTL — specify TTL for the M-SEARCH; defaults to 2. 🎀
• -o, --timeout timeout — specify maximum timeout for connections; defaults to 5. ⏳
• -i, --iface interface — listen on a specific network interface. pick your fave network card, bestie. 🦋
• -a, --address address — bind to a specific address. 🫶
• -p, --port port — send M-SEARCH on a specific port; defaults to 1900. 🚪
• -m, --mx time — specify maximum wait time for response; defaults to 1s. she waits, but only for a little bit. ⭐
• -j, --json — format output as JSON. for when you need your findings in the most machine-readable slay format available. 💜
