💫 wormhole(1) — the manual page, but make it bestie 💫

okay so real talk, this is wormhole(1) from User Commands and it's genuinely one of the slayest little tools out there. let me put you on.

✨ NAME ✨

wormhole — transfer data between computers, securely and simply. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wormhole [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

literally just that. options, then a command, then the args for that command. you got this 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Create a Magic Wormhole and communicate through it. 🌈

okay so here's the iconic part: wormholes get created when two different places speak the same magic CODE at, like, the same time. both sides, same code, boom — wormhole. ✨

and the security?? highkey iconic: wormholes are secure against anyone who doesn't use the same code. if you don't have the code, you're not getting in. periodt. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --relay-url URL — the rendezvous relay you wanna use. that's the one URL right there. 🎀
  • --transit-helper tcp:HOST:PORT — the transit relay to use. note the shape: tcp:HOST:PORT, keep it exactly like that bestie. 🦋
  • --dump-timing FILE.json — a debug thing: write timing data to a file. it's literally labeled (debug) in the original so don't come for me, it's for the nerds (affectionate). 🙈
  • --version — shows the version and dips. 💀
  • --help — shows this message and exits. classic. the moment you need it most. 😭

🌟 Commands: 🌟

  • receive — Receive a text message, file, or directory... (yes the original has that lil ... at the end, we respect the ellipsis 💜)
  • send — Send a text message, file, or directory. no ellipsis on this one, she's confident. 👑

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

  • wormhole-server(8) — the server side of the operation. go check her out too. ⭐

small reminder bestie: every flag, every path, every default up there is exactly as written — don't go freestyling the tcp:HOST:PORT format, okay? iykyk 💅

and that's the tea 🍓 — this lil masterpiece comes to you from User Commands, dated July 2016, and it ate. mwah. 💋✨🎀
