💖 diodcat(8) — cat files by attaching directly to diod server 💖

✨ NAME ✨

diodcat — cat files by attaching directly to a diod server. Bestie, that’s the whole vibe and it ate 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

diodcat [OPTIONS] [-s NAME] [-a aname] [file [file...]]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so diodcat connects to a diod server, attaches to the mount point aname, and concatenates the contents of the specified files on stdout. That’s it, that’s the magic ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a, --aname NAME — the file system name on the server (default "ctl"). Heads up, bestie: the "ctl" synthetic file system must be explicitly exported. No cap 🫶
• -s, --server NAME — the server in IP[:PORT], HOST[:PORT], or /path/to/socket form (default localhost:564). Pick your fave address format, periodt 💅
• -m, --msize SIZE — the maximum request size including 9P headers (default 65536). Big requests, big main character energy 🔥
• -u, --uid UID — try to attach to the server as the specified user (default your effective uid). Slay as yourself or as someone else, lowkey 😌
• -t, --timeout SECS — force timeout after the specified number of seconds (default no timeout). Patience is cute, but deadlines are cuter ⏳
• -p, --privport — connect from a socket bound to a port in the range of 512-1023, available to root only. This can be used in conjunction with the privport export option. Fancy privileged-port moment, iykyk 👑
