UPDATE-CIDCALL(1)
β¨ update-cidcall β the NCID glow-up page β¨
okay bestie, you've found the update-cidcall manual, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little tool that does SO much." it lives in the NCID manual collection, section 1, and it's here to make your caller-ID log look expensive. π
πΈ NAME πΈ
update-cidcall β no cap, that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. π¦
π SYNOPSIS π
update-cidcall [-h] [-n <0123>] CIDCALL_LOG COUNTRY_CODE
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea, bestie: update-cidcall takes the new name and data fields from ncidnumberinfo and sprinkles them onto the lines from the cidcall.log file. the glow-up result gets sent straight to STDOUT. β¨
here's what each new field actually is, no gatekeeping:
FNMBRβ the result of formattingNMBR(this is your number, but make it fashion π )NTYPEβ the caller's device type (fixed, mobile, pager, etc.)CTRYβ the 2-letter country code of the callerLOCAβ the location (city/region) of the calling numberCARIβ the carrier of the calling number
β οΈ NOTE: β οΈ
the new fields data may be out of date because of number portability. π yes, fr fr β people switch carriers, numbers travel, and the data doesn't always keep up. it's not the tool's fault, it's just how portability works.

β REQUIREMENTS β
ncidnumberinfoβ literally required, it's the whole source of the new fields. can't slay without it.
π EXAMPLE π
here's the exact sequence, copy it like a love letter:
update-cidcall -n1 /var/log/cidcall.log US > /tmp/cidcall.log
sudo cp /tmp/cidcall.log /var/log/cidcall.log
so you run it, it writes the new version to /tmp/cidcall.log, and then you sudo cp it back over the real log. iconic pipeline, truly. π₯
