YUBICO(1)

💖 YUBICO — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the Yubico page, from the User Commands part of the manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny page, huge main character energy." it's literally the manual for the Yubikey TOTP GUI. yes. we're doing this. sit down, grab a strawberry, let's go 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

Yubico — Yubikey TOTP GUI 💅

like. that's it. that's the name. iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

yubioath-desktop generates TOTP codes from a YubiKey.  [options]

so yubioath-desktop is the little icon that pops out TOTP codes from your YubiKey. and yeah, you can pass it [options] if you want. she's flexible like that 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Yubico Authenticator for Desktop ✨

(no cap, that's the whole description. short queen. she said "my work speaks for itself" and honestly? true.)

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one, bestie. no skipping. i would never 🙈

• -h, --help — shows you a whole list of commands. like a lil menu. when you're lost, she's there 🫶
• -v, --version — spills the version info. "who am i? what am i?" she answers 💜
• --log-level <LEVEL> — turns on logging at whatever verbosity you put in <LEVEL>. the levels are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL — yes, all five, in that order, and yes CRITICAL is the dramatic one 😭
• --log-file <FILE> — sends the logs to <FILE> instead of standard output. BUT — and this is the important part — it's ignored without --log-level. so if you don't pass --log-level, this one just sits there doing nothing. girl is nothing without her bestie, periodt 💀

lowkey a warning but highkey just facts: --log-file does absolutely nothing unless --log-level is also there. don't come for me, that's literally what the page says 🧚

⭐ and that's the whole vibe ⭐

k byeeee, go generate some TOTP codes, you absolute legend 🌈
