💅 mtx-youless(1) — the youless Fetcher page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to mtx-youless, a.k.a. the youless Fetcher from the mtx-youless(1) manual. yes it's a whole manual page for a data fetcher and yes we're gonna read it together, because you deserve to know ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mtxrun --script youless [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check: you call mtxrun with --script youless, throw some OPTIONS at it if you're feeling fancy, and optionally hand it some FILENAMES 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

youless Fetcher 💖

(lowkey the original page is that brief, and honestly? iconic. it fetches. it's a fetcher. periodt.)

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --collect — collect data from device. that's the whole job bestie, go get the data 🍓
  • --nobackup — don't backup old datafile. no backup, no safety net, we live boldly 🙈
  • --nofile — don't write data to file (for checking). perfect for peeking without committing ✨
  • --electricity — collected eletricity data (p) ⚡ (yes, spelled exactly like that in the original — keeping it, no cap)
  • --gas — collected gas data 🔥
  • --pulse — collected eletricity data (s) 💓
  • --host — ip address of device. tell it where the device lives, it's not gonna guess 🧚
  • --auto — fetch (refresh) all data every hour ⏰ set it and forget it, main character energy fr fr
heads up babes: --electricity is the (p) data and --pulse is the (s) data — they look similar but they are not the same, iykyk 💅
