bzquery(6)

📦 version 2.4.30, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the bzquery page — manual section 6, in case you were wondering — and here's the whole vibe:

bzfquery — go poke a bzflag server and print out the game status. that's it, that's the job 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bzquery [server [port]]

literally just that. two lil optional things, in that order, no drama 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what happens is: bzquery generates a report and sends it straight to standard output, and that report is all about the status of a bzflag game. 🌈

and what's in that report, you ask? it's giving a full rundown, bestie:

  • the player count 👑
  • the team listings
  • the score 🔥
  • and the flags that control the game option and state ✨

no cap, that's the whole report.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • server — this is the hostname of the server you wanna query, main character energy. if you don't specify it, bzfquery just defaults to localhost. lowkey convenient.
  • port — this is the port the BZFlag server is running at. if you don't specify it, bzfquery defaults to the standard port 4053. periodt. 💅
