✨ UPDATE-INDYMEDIA-CITIES(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about update-indymedia-cities — a little script that lives in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

update-indymedia-cities — the girl whose whole entire job is making a cities.inc file out of http://www.indymedia.org/cities.xml. that's it. that's the gig. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

update-indymedia-cities > cities.inc

like, literally just run it and point the output at a file. redirect go brrr. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — update-indymedia-cities goes and retrieves the cities.xml file, and that file is holding the list of all the Independent Media Centers. iconic, right? 👑

then it takes that list and produces an HTML rendering of it — one that's suitable for being included in a static footer of the Samizdat front page. so it's not just fetching, she's also doing the glow-up. 🌈✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so real talk: it accepts no options. zero. none. nada. 🙈

  • the URL it fetches cities.xml from is hardcoded into the script itself — no overriding it, no arguing with it, periodt 💀
  • the resulting HTML just gets printed to standard output

so what you see is what you get, and what you get is the HTML. simple. clean. main character energy. ⭐
