okay bestie, so this is the manual page for xjremote, a User Commands situation. Buckle up, it's giving remote-control realness 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xjremote — X Jack Video Monitor Remote Control 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xjremote[ OPTIONS ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So xjremote is the jack video monitor remote control utility — like, that's literally its whole job 💅

Xjremote opens a connection to a running instance of xjadeo, or it straight-up launches a whole new instance that's ready and waiting for remote-control. main character energy fr fr 👑

The way you talk to xjremote is through the standard input/output mechanism — very normal, very chill. But xjremote itself talks to xjadeo out-of-band, using platform-specific operations (think POSIX message queues, IPC, or OSC). it's giving secret backchannel gossip 😭✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you this help and then dips. bye 👋
  • -V, --version — prints the version info and exits, periodt 💅
  • -f, --nofork — connect ONLY to instances that are already running, and do NOT launch a new xjadeo if none are found. no new friends, no new processes 🚫
  • -P, --noping — don't check whether xjadeo is alive. just... connect. no vibe check, we're going in blind 🙈
  • -q, --quiet, --silent — inhibits the usual output. shhh 🤫
  • -I, --id <queue-id> — specify the queue id 🎀
  • -J, --no-initial-sync — this one gets passed on to xjadeo as an option. not our business, we're just the messenger 💌
  • -u, --unlink — removes existing queues 🧹
  • -U, --unlinkonly — removes the queues and exits. and no stress, active connections will not be affected by an unlink event 🫶
lowkey important: xjremote also accepts the -R, -Q, and -W options, just so it's compatible with xjadeo as a drop-in-replacement. but bestie, xjremote ignores those options entirely. they're just there for the aesthetic 💀
