FIFOWRITE(8)

✨ FIFOWRITE ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from section 8 of the System Manager's Manual — we're in System Manager's Manual territory, aka admin girlie stuff 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

fifowrite — it's literally just a test program for aprsdigi 💅 no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fifowrite filename

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, fifowrite is the little bestie you bring along when you wanna test aprsdigi 🔥

Here's the vibe: lines of text get read from stdin, and then they get written as a Unix datagram to the fifo sitting at filename. 🫶

And that fifo? It's expected to have already been opened for reading by aprsdigi, using this exact invocation:

aprsdigi -p unix:filename,callsign,alias...

like, that's the whole thing. that's the assignment. main character energy honestly ✨
