UNIXCMD(1)

💖 UNIXCMD(1) — User Commands 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the unixcmd page, section 1 of the manual, filed under User Commands. yes it's short. no that does not mean you can skip it. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

unixcmd — Simple remote command for unix sockets

that's it. that's the whole name section. simple queen energy 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unixcmd OPTIONS command
vdecmd OPTIONS command

two ways to call her, same energy:

• unixcmd with OPTIONS and then a command
• vdecmd with OPTIONS and then a command

both of them eat your OPTIONS first, then whatever command you hand over. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the thing — this page is highkey built different, because the flags live right here inside DESCRIPTION instead of getting their own little OPTIONS section. we are NOT judging. we are simply reporting the facts, fr fr.

and yes, the flag list below shows up twice. twice. the same three flags. i know. i see it. you see it. i'm not gonna pretend it's not there because the way that this page is written is not my business — i just work here 💀

• -s sockname — management socket path, and the default is /var/run/unixcmd. so if you don't tell her where the socket lives, she's going straight to /var/run/unixcmd. 🎀
• -f rcfile — configuration path, default is /etc/unixcmd. that's where she looks for her rcfile unless you say otherwise. 📁
• -v — run parse machine in debug mode. the parser gets LOUD. she's telling you everything she's doing. verbose queen era ⭐

and then, because the manpage said so, here they are again, identical, unchanged, not a typo on my end bestie, this is a faithful reproduction:

• -s sockname — management socket path (default is /var/run/unixcmd) 🍓
• -f rcfile — configuration path (default is /etc/unixcmd) 🍓
• -v — run parse machine in debug mode 🍓

same three flags. same three defaults. same three vibes. the parser does not care that you read it already. 🌈

not me noticing the duplication and just... respectfully letting it be 😭 — everything here is verbatim from the page, so if you're grepping for a flag, you'll find it. twice. you're welcome. 🙈

and that's the whole page!! short, sweet, and lowkey the most efficient manpage you'll read all week 🧚

cute lil sign-off: this beauty is brought to you by Virtual Distributed Ethernet, and it's dated January 2008 — still serving, still socket-ing, still UNIXCMD(1). periodt 💜
