💖 UGET-GTK — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to UGET-GTK(1), the User Commands section of the manual, and honestly? she's iconic. this is the page for uget-gtk, and we're gonna go through it together, no skimming, no skipping, every single flag gets its moment. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

uget-gtk — a download manager that uses gtk+2, and libcurl. that's it, that's the girl. she grabs your files and she does it with gtk+2 and libcurl underneath. slay. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

uget-gtk [options] [URL]

so like, you give her some options, you give her a URL, and she does her thing. both are optional-ish in the sense that the synopsis says so, but the vibe is: options first, URL after. 🌈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay here's where it gets juicy. the options come in two little families: the Help Options and the Application Options. let's do them in order because we respect the order. 💜

🦋 Help Options:

  • -?, --help — shows you the help options. that's it. she's helpful like that. 🫶
  • --help-all — shows you ALL the help options. not just some. all of them. the full menu, bestie. 👑
  • --help-gtk — shows you the GTK+ Options. because gtk+2 has its own little world of flags and you deserve to see them. ✨

💖 Application Options:

  • --quiet — adds the download directly. no dialog. no popup. no asking. just vibes and downloading. 🤫
  • --category-index=N — adds the download to the Nth category. the default is -1, so if you don't say anything she picks for you. 💅
  • --folder=FOLDER — puts the downloaded file in FOLDER. a home for your little file baby. 🏠
  • --filename=FILE — sets the download filename to FILE. you name it, she saves it. 🎀
  • --user=USER — sets BOTH the ftp and http user to USER. two birds, one flag. efficient queen. 🦋
  • --password=PASS — sets BOTH the ftp and http password to PASS. same energy, different secret. 🔐
  • --proxy-type=N — sets the proxy type to N. and look: 0=Don't use. zero means no proxy, no cap. 🚫
  • --proxy-host=HOST — sets the proxy host to HOST. 🏡
  • --proxy-port=PORT — sets the proxy port to PORT. 🔌
  • --proxy-user=USER — sets USER as the proxy username. 🫶
  • --proxy-password=PASS — sets PASS as the proxy password. 🤐
  • --http-user=USER — sets the http user to USER. just http this time, not both. 💖
  • --http-password=PASS — sets the http password to PASS. 🔑
  • --http-referer=URL — includes a Referer: URL header in the HTTP request. yes bestie, she's gonna tell the server where she came from. 💌
  • --http-cookie-data=STRING — loads cookies from STRING. cookies, but make it inline. 🍪
  • --http-cookie-file=FILE — loads cookies from FILE. cookies, but from a file. still cookies. still delicious. 🍓
  • --http-post-data=STRING — uses the POST method; sends STRING as the data. 📮
  • --http-post-file=FILE — uses the POST method; sends the contents of FILE. 📬
  • --ftp-user=USER — sets the ftp user to USER. ftp-only edition. 💜
  • --ftp-password=PASS — sets the ftp password to PASS. 🤫
  • --display=DISPLAY — the X display to use. yes, this one goes way back. it's giving old-school X11 main character energy. 🖥️
