NCID2NCID.CONF(5)

💖 NCID2NCID.CONF(5) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're talking about the ncid2ncid.conf manual page from the NCID world ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncid2ncid.conf — it's the configuration file, babes. that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the ncid2ncid.conf file is where all the config info lives for ncid2ncid, aka the NCID to NCID gateway 👑 like, it's the gateway between NCID and NCID, iykyk.

the ncid2ncid.conf file is what you use to set options. but no cap, you can also set options right on a command line if that's more your thing 💅

here's the tea on how a line gets read: a line is broken up into words. and a word is one of these three things, periodt:

• a string of non-blank characters
• everything between double quotes
• an equal sign

so like, <yellow>=</yellow> counts as its own little word. iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ the 3 types of lines ✨

the ncid2ncid.conf file understands exactly 3 types of lines, and not one more:

• blank line — ignored 🙈 literally just vibes, no content, moving on.
• comment line, beginning with # — ignored 💜 write whatever you want in there, it's just for you.
• command lines, beginning with set — the main character energy line. this is where stuff actually happens 🎀

---

💅 the command line format

set ITEM = VALUE [ITEM = VALUE] [...]

and where ITEM can be any of these:

• pidfile
• verbose
• HostnameFlag
• tohost
• toport
• fromhost?
• fromport?

ngl, that ? in fromhost? and fromport? is a digit sequence number. so like fromhost1, fromhost2, fromport1, and so on — you get the pattern bestie 🫶

---

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

okay let's see it in action, because examples ate:

Set the verbose level to 2

set verbose = 2

Set the first sending host to 192.168.5.10 using the default port

set fromhost1 = 192.168.5.10

Set the second sending host to ncidhost.home using the default port

set fromhost2 = ncidhost.home:3334

see? easy. slay. 💅✨
