✨ NAME ✨

xboxdrvctl — it's a remote control app for the xboxdrv daemon, bestie 💖

Like, think of it as the group chat you slide into when you wanna tell the daemon what to do. That's the whole vibe.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xboxdrvctl [OPTIONS]

That's it. Just the command, plus however many options your little heart desires. No positional args, no drama. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, real talk: xboxdrvctl is a remote control application for the xboxdrv daemon. 🌈

You run it, you pass it some options, and it goes and tells the daemon what's up. That's literally the entire job description. No cap. 💀✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Every single one of these, we're going through them. All of them. None skipped, periodt.

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message and then dips out (exit). Your little "what do I do now" button 🫶

💜 D-BUS OPTIONS 💜

The "how do I even get to the daemon" section. Iconic behaviour.

  • -b BUS, --bus=BUS — connects to the D-Bus bus called BUS 🚌
  • -o OBJ, --object=OBJ — uses the D-Bus object OBJ 🎯

🔥 XBOXDRV OPTIONS 🔥

Now we're cooking. The actual controller stuff.

  • -S, --status — prints the controller status 📊
  • -s SLOT, --slot=SLOT — uses slot SLOT for actions 🎰
  • -l NUM, --led=NUM — sets the LED 💡 (yes she lights up, she's the moment)
  • -r L:R, --rumble=L:R — the page says "print controller status" here too. Ngl, that's word-for-word what it says, I'm not making it up, I'm just delivering it fr fr 📖✨
  • -c NUM, --config=NUM — switches to controller configuration NUM 🔄
  • --shutdown — shuts down the daemon 💀 bye bestie, it was real
Heads up: -r L:R takes a L:R value and --rumble=L:R matches it, so type it exactly like that. We don't improvise with option values in this house. 🙈

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

Nope, there's literally nothing here in the original, bestie. The page just ends. Not every manpage has friends. 😭

Okay that's the whole page!! 🎀 It's xboxdrvctl, from March 2011, and the doc itself is filed under XBOXDRVCTL(1) — oldie but a goodie, she's been serving since 2011 and she has NOT slowed down. 💖✨🦋 Slay, go control your daemon. 💅
