AX25MOND.CONF(5)

💖 AX25MOND.CONF — the Linux Programmer's Manual, section 5 bestie 💖

okay so you found ax25mond.conf(5) and you're like "what even is this" — don't worry, I got you. This is the config file manual for ax25mond(8), and it's short, it's sweet, and it absolutely eats. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ax25mond.conf — tells you which sockets ax25mond is gonna hand out, like a little socket menu bestie 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the whole vibe of ax25mond.conf is: it specifies the internet-sockets and unix-sockets that ax25mond(8) will provide. That's it. That's the whole job. Iconic honestly.

Here's a little example, look at her go:

# Create an internet socket on port 1234 where all the
# AX.25 traffic will be transmitted
rxtx *:1234
# Create an unix socket where only the received AX.25
# traffic will be transmitted
rx unix:/var/spool/ax25/monitor

see how the first one is like "yeah I'm an internet socket on port 1234 and I'm gonna transmit ALL the AX.25 traffic, rx AND tx, main character energy" and then the second one is lowkey more chill, an unix socket that only transmits the received AX.25 traffic. both valid. both slaying. 🦋

Now here's the part where you gotta pay attention, bestie:

• You may specify up to 5 sockets — and yes, that number is definable in ax25mond.c if you're feeling feral 🔥
• ax25mond will accept up to 50 connects — that one's also definable in ax25mond.c

so like, the numbers are vibes-based in the sense that someone can recompile them, but that's the situation as written. no cap. 💜

🎀 FILES 🎀

and that's the whole page babes — from the Linux Programmer's Manual, section 5, dated 30 January 1999, and it still understood the assignment all these years later. mwah. 💖💅🫶
