💖 OBI2NCID.CONF(5) — the NCID manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so hi, welcome to the obi2ncid.conf page, part of the NCID manual set 🎀 this is literally the glow-up guide for your config file and i'm gonna walk you through every single line of it. grab a strawberry 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

obi2ncid.conf — it's the configuration file for obi2ncid, that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the obi2ncid.conf file holds all the configuration information for obi2ncid. like, everything it needs to know about itself lives in here 🫶

The obi2ncid.conf file understands 3 types of lines, and honestly? iconic range:

  • blank line — ignored, she's just existing, no thoughts head empty 💭
  • comment line, beginning with # — also ignored, this is your diary, write whatever ✍️
  • VARIABLE = VALUE — the real one, the main character 👑 and heads up: VALUE can contain spaces if it is between quotes. quotes are the vibe protectors, no cap.
Also, for real for real, see obi2ncid.conf for all default values. don't come for me asking what the defaults are, they're right there 💀

🌈 VARIABLES 🌈

every single one, bestie, no skipping, let's go:

  • verbose = level — level is in the range 1-9. and ngl, not all verbose levels are used. so don't get attached to every number, some of them are just decorative ✨
  • HostnameFlag = value — value is 0 or 1. if it's 1, it includes the hostname in the IDENT string. that's the whole lore 🦋
  • ncidaddr = host address — the NCID server host address, and it can be an IP address or a resolvable host name. flexible queen 💜
  • ncidport = port — the NCID server port number. just a number, just a port, slay 🎀
  • delay = seconds — if the connection to the NCID server is lost 😭 this specifies the number of seconds between reconnection attempts. she's patient, she's persistent, she comes back 🔥
  • obiport = port — the NCID gateway listen port 👂
  • lineid = string — the telephone line identification. a string, your string, your line's whole identity 🌟

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

here's how the girlies actually do it:

Set the NCID server IP address:

ncidaddr = 192.168.1.20

Set gateway listen port:

obiport = 4335

look at that. clean. correct. ate and left no crumbs 💅
