✨ update-boinc-applinks ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

update-boinc-applinks — makes (and unmakes!) symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

update-boinc-applinks [options]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe: update-boinc-applinks creates — or removes — symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications, plus their associated app_info.xml files, inside whatever BOINC data directory you point it at. that's the whole job. she's focused. she's iconic. ✨

heads up, bestie: update-boinc-applinks is an extension made for Debian users, and it's only available in Debian's boinc-client package. no package, no applinks, no cap. 😭

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

for the full rundown of everything, just run update-boinc-applinks --help and let her spill the whole menu.

• -h, --help — show the help message and literally all the options. the full tea. ☕
• --create — create symbolic links and project directories. building the empire 👑
• --remove — remove symbolic links and empty project directories. decluttering era 🧹 (note: only the empty project dirs get removed, she's not feral)
• --data-dir=DIR — manage the symbolic links inside the directory DIR. if you don't pass this option, DIR just defaults to the current working directory. simple as 🍓
• --project=PROJECT — only manage symbolic links for the project PROJECT. wanna know which projects you can even use here? run update-boinc-applinks --list-projects to get the list of projects that have anonymous applications available and can therefore be replaced with PROJECT. if you skip this option entirely, update-boinc-applinks will manage symbolic links for all the available projects. she's doing everything, fr fr 😤
• --list-projects — show a list of the projects that have anonymous applications available. normally those applications come from packages named boinc-app-PROJECT (for example, boinc-app-seti). iykyk 🌈
