💖 update_routes — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the AX.25 Mail Utilities corner of the terminal, this is update_routes(1) and it's literally about to become your new fav little helper 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

update_routes — updates the database of BBS and callsigns 👑

no cap, that's the whole job. it keeps your little book of who's where all fresh and shiny ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

update_routes <BBS_callsign> [<BBS_callsign> ...]

so you hand it one BBS callsign, or like, as many as you want. one is fine. twelve is fine. go off 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this program scans all messages downloaded from the specified BBS and then updates the home BBS information.

and when it does that, it builds the /var/ax25/mail_routes database. that's the whole glow-up. it reads, it figures out who belongs where, it writes the database. main character behaviour fr fr 🌈

heads up bestie, the BBS you name here is the one whose downloaded messages get scanned — so name the right one, mwah 💋

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /var/ax25/mail_routes — the database it builds and updates, iconic, protected, living its best life in /var 🦋
