💖 WF_DUMP_ENTRIES(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because this little tool lives in section 1 of the manual (iykyk) and honestly? it's giving surprisingly useful.

✨ NAME ✨

wf_dump_entries — the tool that dumps the entries from the wforce stats DBs to stdout or to a file. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wf_dump_entries [-u,--uri wforce uri] [-l,--local-addr address]
[-p,--local-port port] [-w,--wforce-pwd password] [-f,--filename file]
[-h,--help]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea. wf_dump_entries connects to the wforce server you point it at, and asks that server to send a dump of all the stats DBs over TCP/IP to itself. then it sends the results to stdout or to a file. iconic behaviour, honestly.

the way it works is kind of a two-phase main character arc:

  1. first it acts as a TCP client, connecting to wforce and invoking the dumpEntries command.
  2. then it acts as a server, receiving the dumped entries, and printing them to stdout or to a file.

periodt. that's the whole flow. 💅

🌸 SCOPE 🌸

wf_dump_entries requires a running wforce daemon to connect to. that's not optional, bestie, no daemon = nothing to dump = sad vibes. 😭

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -u URI — provides the URI of the wforce daemon, ideally without a path or query. for example: http://127.0.0.1:8084/. the query "?command=dumpEntries" will be appended to the command if the URI does not end with "dumpEntries".
  • -w, --wforce-pwd PASSWORD — the password to use for basic authentication to wforce. 🔐 keep it secret, keep it safe, fr fr.
  • -l, --local-addr IP ADDRESS — the IP address to use to send the entries to. this must be a configured IP address on the localhost, because the wf_dump_entries program will listen on this IP address. yes, it has to actually exist on your box, don't try it.
  • -p, --local-port PORT — the port number to use when sending the entries. the wf_dump_entries program will listen on this port. pick wisely. 🌈
  • -f, --filename FILENAME — send the dumped entries to the specified file instead of stdout. for when you want to keep the receipts. 💀
  • -h, --help — display a helpful message and exit. the classic. the beloved. 🫶
