✨ UHUB-PASSWD ✨

okay bestie, so this is uhub-passwd from the General Commands Manual 💅 — a lil baby utility for manipulating the passwords that the uhub daemon uses. tiny tool, huge responsibility, we love that for her 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uhub-passwd filename command [...]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you hand her a filename, you hand her a command, and then whatever else that command wants 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so uhub is a high performance peer-to-peer hub for the ADC network 🔥. like. a whole hub. peer-to-peer. ADC network. icon behavior tbh.

and the reason she's so skinny is that her memory footprint is low, which means she can handle several thousand users on high-end servers, or — and this is the part I'm obsessed with — a small private hub on embedded hardware 💖. same girl, different era. main character energy fr fr.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

these are the commands, bestie. pick one, she's not gonna read your mind:

  • create — makes the thing (the database, we're getting there, chill 😭)
  • add username password [credentials = user] — adds a user. credentials default to user, and yes you can override it, go off
  • del username — deletes that user. bye girl 👋
  • mod username credentials — modifies the credentials of a user
  • pass username password — sets (changes) the password for a user
  • list — lists them. all of them. no cap 📋

🌈 PARAMETERS 🌈

  • filename — is a database file 💾
  • username — is a nickname (UTF-8, up to 64 bytes). UTF-8 and 64 bytes MAX, so don't get cute with a 200-byte emoji essay, she will simply not 🫶
  • password — is a password (UTF-8, up to 64 bytes). same energy, same limit 🔐
  • credentials — is one of admin, super, op, user — literally those four, no in-between, no making up a fifth one 🙈
✨ ngl the admin / super / op / user hierarchy is giving royalty and I respect the ladder 💜
