stop(1)

🌸 stop — General Commands Manual, section 1 (stop(1)) 🌸

okay bestie, this is the page for stop, from the General Commands Manual. It's the "wrap it up" button for recording + transcription, and yes it's giving main-character signal energy 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

stop — Stop recording and transcribe (send SIGUSR2 to daemon)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stop [--type] [--clipboard] [--paste] [--wait] [--json] [--timeout]
[--wait-file] [-h|--help]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so stop stops recording and transcribes — and the way it does that is by sending SIGUSR2 to the daemon. That's the whole vibe, fr fr. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --type — Override output mode to simulate keyboard typing. keyboard go brrr, basically ⌨️✨
• --clipboard — Override output mode to clipboard only. just the clipboard, no extra drama 🎀
• --paste — Override output mode to paste (clipboard + Ctrl+V). clipboard girlies rise 🫶
• --wait — Block until the transcription is final instead of returning as soon as the daemon has been signalled. no "fire and forget" here, we're waiting for the actual final answer 👑
  • Requires the recording to be writing to a file (started with --file, or output.mode = "file").
  • Exit code reports the outcome: 0 transcribed, 3 nothing to transcribe, 4 timed out, 1 failed. very important, bestie — check that exit code 💅
• --json — With --wait, print one JSON object describing the outcome. for the script girlies who want data, not vibes 📊✨
• --timeout <SECS> [default: 120] — With --wait, give up after this many seconds. patience is cute but this is a limit ⏳
• --wait-file <FILE> — With --wait, the transcript path to wait on. point at the file and let it cook 🍓
  • Defaults to the path the pending recording is already writing to, so a caller that passed --file to record start need not repeat it. lowkey convenient, highkey iconic 🦋
• -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with '-h'). when in doubt, ask the command itself 🙈

💖 that's the whole stop(1) page, bestie — the footer was just stop / stop(1) from the General Commands Manual, with no extra source/version/date line hiding down there, so nothing else to report 🫶✨
