Welcome to the manual page for tzc, straight outta the General Commands Manual, section 1. Grab a snack, we're doing this. 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

tzc — trivial zephyr client 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tzc [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so tzc is a zephyr client program, right? It talks to the zephyr servers — and it does that through the "zephyr host manager" — and it also talks to a gnu-emacs that's running zephyr-mode. That's the whole vibe. It's the little go-between. 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Here's the full rundown, bestie, no skips, no shortcuts:

  • -a nseconds — restarts tzc every nseconds seconds. Constantly reborn. Main character energy. 🔄
  • -e exposure — sets the exposure. The values are: NONE, OPSTAFF, REALM-VISIBLE, REALM-ANNOUNCED, NET-VISIBLE, NET-ANNOUNCED. Pick your visibility level, it's giving privacy settings. 🙈
  • -l, location — sets the zlocation tty to the string location. The default is tzc.n, where n is tzc's pid. So it names itself, iconic. ✨
  • -h, hostname — sets the zlocation hostname to the string hostname. The default is the current host's hostname. Yeah it just knows. 👑
  • -p filename — writes tzc's process-id into the file filename. Little ID card, so cute. 🎀
  • -s — uses zctl for subscriptions, which it reads from ~/.zephyr.subs.tzc. 📋
  • -t nseconds — if no zephyrgrams show up for nseconds seconds, it sends a test message just to make sure we're alive. If nseconds is 0, this whole feature is off. Default is 300 seconds. Wellness check bestie 🫶
  • -o — runs tzc in output-only mode. It'll just print zephyrgrams and will not accept commands from stdin. It's in its silent era. 🤫
  • -i — ignore eof on input. 💀
  • -d — prints debugging information. For the nosy girlies (me, it's me). 🔍
