💖 BESTFCOM(8) — the bestfcom page, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is the bestfcom driver, part of the NUT Manual. she's a lil niche but she WORKS. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bestfcom — Driver for Best Power Fortress/Ferrups 🫶

like. that's her. that's the whole job description. iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestfcom -h

bestfcom -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

so you can either ask her for help (adorable, valid) or point her at a UPS by name and let her cook 🔥

📝 note bestie, this is important: this man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the bestfcom driver. if you wanna know about the core driver, go read nutupsdrv(8). that's a different page, different lore, iykyk.

🔌 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🔌

Best Power Fortress/Ferrups that implement the Fortress UPS Protocol (aka the f-command set). if your unit speaks that language, we're so back 💅

🙈 psst — for the older Fortress units, that's a whole different page. go see bestfortress(8). don't mix them up, she will not forgive you.

🎀 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 🎀

ngl this is gonna be the shortest section you've ever read: this driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5).

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no extra knobs, no secret flags, nothing to tweak. clean. minimal. main character energy, honestly ✨
