SSDPY-SERVER(1)

✨ SSDPY-SERVER ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ssdpy-server page from the General Commands Manual 💅 this is the little guy that goes out there and makes your service known to the whole network. let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

ssdpy-server — start an SSDP server, fr fr 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ssdpy-server [options] usn

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: ssdpy-server is an SSDP server, and what it does is send NOTIFY packets so all the SSDP clients out there find out about a service — like it's literally introducing your service to the group chat 📣 — and it also responds to relevant M-SEARCH packets whenever somebody comes looking. main character energy, no cap 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• usn — the Unique server name you wanna broadcast. this one's the whole point of the operation, you don't skip it bestie 🫶
• -h, --help — shows the program's built-in help message and then dips. exit stage left 💅
• -V, --version — shows the program's version number and bounces. cute and quick 🎀
• -v, --verbose — turns the verbosity up. more yapping, more info 📢
• -4, --ipv4 — listen on IPv4. this is the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get 💚
• -6, --ipv6 — listen on IPv6 instead of IPv4. swap the whole vibe 🦋
• -t, --device-type device-type — pick the broadcasted device type; this is what affects the NT field. defaults to ssdp:rootdevice ⭐
• -i, --iface interface — listen on one specific network interface. choose your lane, queen 👑
• -p, --port port — listen for M-SEARCH on a specific port; defaults to 1900 🔢
• --max-age max-age — how many seconds the server info should be cached for. and ngl, by default it's not cached at all — zero cache, zero chill 😭
• -l, --location location — the location that notifications should point to. heads up: this sets both LOCATION and AL, so it's doing double duty 🫶
• -a, --address address — the address of the interface to listen on. ⚠️ only valid for IPv4, so don't try it on v6 bestie, it's not gonna eat 💀
• -e, --extra-field name value — extra fields to pass in NOTIFY packets. and the slay part? you can pass this option multiple times for multiple extra headers. stack 'em, it's iconic ✨
