✨ UWSC(1) ✨

User Commands — no cap, bestie, we're reading the uwsc manual page together and it's gonna be a whole vibe 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

uwsc — Command-line websocket client. That's it, that's the girl 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

uwsc is the Ulfius Websocket Client. Iconic. Show-stopping. A whole websocket client that lives in your terminal.

Version 0.11 — yes she's a little vintage, but she ate 🎀

🎀 Command-line options 🎀

Okay so here's the full menu, and yes, we're going through every single one because that's the respect she deserves 💖

• -o, --output-log-file=PATH — print yder log messages into a file. Yes, named PATH, that's the file you want the logs to land in 🍓
• -x, --add-header=HEADER — adds the header you specify, and it's gotta be shaped like 'key:value'. Colon in the middle, no negotiation 💅
• -b, --send-binary-file=PATH — sends the contents of a file at the beginning of the connection, in a binary frame. Right at the start, like she's walking in with a gift 🎁
• -t, --send-text-file=PATH — same idea, but it goes out in a text frame. Beginning of the connection, file contents, text flavored 🌸
• -i, --non-interactive-send — do NOT prompt for message sending. She's not asking, she's just sending 😌
• -l, --non-listening — do NOT listen for incoming messages. Not interested, not today, headphones on 🙈
• -f, --fragmentation= — specify the max length of a frame, and fragment the message to send if it needs it. 0 means no fragmentation, and the default is 0. So by default she does not chop anything up ✂️
• -p, --protocol=PROTOCOL — specify the Websocket Protocol values. Default is none, bestie, so if you want a protocol you have to say so 🦋
• -e, --extensions=EXTENSION — specify the Websocket extensions values. Default is none too. Same energy, different parameter ✨
• -s, --non-secure — do NOT check the server certificate.

🚨 bestie listen — this is the "don't check the server certificate" button. It is literally named non-secure. Dramatic? Yes. Accurate? Also yes. Use it with your whole chest only when you actually mean it, because it turns off certificate checking. No cap 💀

• -q, --quiet — quiet mode, only shows the websocket messages. All the extra chatter? Gone. Just the messages, ma'am 🎧
• -v, --version — prints uwsc's current version. In case you forgot she's 0.11 💅
• -h, --help — prints this message. The classic. The icon. The one everybody types first 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

The full documentation for uwsc is maintained as a Texinfo manual 📖 — so this page is not the whole story, it's the trailer.

If the info and uwsc programs are properly installed at your site, this command:

info uwsc

should give you access to the complete manual. Slay ✨

Okay that's the whole page bestie, go forth and websocket responsibly 🫶

This was uwsc version 0.11, brought to you from <b>December 2020</b> — yes, a little retro, and still absolutely serving 💖
