NCID_TOOLS(7)

💖 NCID_TOOLS(7) — the NCID tools overview, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the NCID_TOOLS page from the NCID manual, section 7. It's basically the group chat roster of every tool that ships with NCID. No cap, they're all Perl and shell scripts for dealing with files and devices. Let's get into it 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The NCID tools are Perl and shell scripts that handle files and devices. The current tools distributed with NCID are, in this exact order, no skips:

• cidalias — Views alias definitions in the NCID alias and blacklist files. 👀
• cidcall — Views calls, hangups, messages and end-of-calls in the NCID call log. The whole saga, fr fr.
• cidupdate — Updates aliases in the NCID call file. Designed to be called by the NCID server. So like, it's not really for you to poke at directly, it has a job. 🫡
• get-fcc-list — Obtains the latest fcc.blacklist derived from FCC Complaints data. Fresh off the press ✨
• ncidnumberinfo — Formats the number and gives new information in the ncidd message format. It's giving glow-up for phone numbers. 🦋
• ncidutil — Manipulates entries in the alias, blacklist and whitelist files. Designed to be called by the NCID server. Again, server's little helper. 🎀
• ncid-yearlog — Creates a yearly call log, that grows month by month, from each monthly log. It literally just keeps growing, main character energy. 👑
• phonetz — Returns the local time or the local time range, taking into account multiple time zones and daylight saving time. Timezone math is not the vibe, so this tool handles it for you. 🌈
• update-cidcall — Updates the caller log with the new name and data fields produced from ncidnumberinfo. The output is sent to STDOUT. Yes, capital letters, that's the real deal. 🔥
• wct — Whozz Calling Ethernet Link Device interactive tool. Say hi to the device. 💜

🌸 FILES 🌸

These are the paths in the mix, exactly as written, no editing, no guessing:

$HOME/NCID/log/cidcall-<year>.log
$HOME/NCID/log/ciddata-<year>.log
prefix3=/etc/ncid/fcc.blacklist
prefix3=/etc/ncid/ncidd.alias
prefix3=/etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist
prefix3=/etc/ncid/ncidd.whitelist
/usr/share/ncid/sys/get-fcc-list
/var/log/cidcall.log
/var/log/ciddata.log
/var/backups/ncid/

not me putting prefix3= in a list like it's a normal path 💀 that's literally what the page says though, so it stays. Keep every detail, that's the rule. 🫶
