💖 wfut — WorldForge update tool 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the wfut(1) page, straight out of your friendly neighbourhood General Commands Manual 🌸 this is the little command-line cutie that keeps your WorldForge stuff up to date, and she is serving ✨

---

🌟 NAME 🌟

wfut — the WorldForge update tool 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wfut [ options ] -u channel_name

that's it. that's the whole vibe check 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so wfut is a command-line update tool, and she's literally designed to hang out with WorldForge systems 🫶 she handles the client side update functionality — the part that does the updating, the fetching, the "ooh new files" moment 💖

and listen, the server-side functionality? still, at present, only available in the Java version of WFUT. so if you were hoping to run the server side of things from here... not today, bestie 😭 the Java one is the one holding that down 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -u channel_name, --update=channel_name — update the channel channel_name. and yes, this can literally just be a period, . — use that when the current directory (or the prefix, if you set one) is the full path to a channel 👑✨
• -p local_root, --prefix=local_root — use the directory local_root instead of the current working directory when searching for local updates. so like, "hey, look over here for the stuff you already have" 📂💖
• -s system_root, --system=system_root — go look in system_root for read-only / package installed channel data 🧚 that's the stuff your package manager dropped off, no touching, just vibes ✨
• -S server_root, --server=server_root — use server_root as the base URL on the server where the channels are kept 🌈 this is the "where do I download from" one, iykyk 🔥

⚠️ note the capital-S situation, bestie — -s and -S are two completely different things and mixing them up is giving chaos energy 💀

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

okay so the following command will update the channel sear-media 👇

wfut -s /usr/share/wfut/ -p $HOME/.wfut/ -u sear-media

and here's the tea on what that actually does ☕✨ it looks for a directory called sear-media in $HOME/.wfut/, or creates one if it needs to (no cap, she'll just make it 🙈), and downloads the updates into there 💖 it will also look in /usr/share/wfut/sear-media for files that already exist 🎀 so like, system files + your personal stuff, both accounted for, main character energy 👑

---

🦋 NOTES 🦋

wfut uses curl internally. that's it, that's the note 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie 🥰

the cute sign-off: this page came out of the General Commands Manual, and the date on it is Febuary 16, 2007 💖 (yes, that's how it's spelled in the source, we don't fix, we only slay ✨)

now go update something, you icon 💜🦋🌸
