💖 guess(8) — NVRAM WakeUp 💖

okay bestie, we're diving into guess, a lil tool from the NVRAM WakeUp crew, and honestly? she's doing the most with the least. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

guess — she tries to guess your configuration by comparing four dumps of the NVRAM. detective energy, no cap 🔍

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

guess

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no args, just vibes 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so guess is out here trying to figure out where the wakeup time settings live inside the NVRAM. the way she works is you just run guess from inside the directory where your four NVRAM dumps are hanging out, named exactly like this:

• 31.23.59.59+
• 11.12.13.14+
• 01.00.00.00+
• 01.00.00.00-

those filenames? they denote the wakeup time you had to set manually before dumping the NVRAM. yes, manually. yes, it's a whole process. anyway the format goes like:

<DD>.<HH>.<MM>.<SS><status>

and breaking it down piece by piece, because we love a legend:

• <DD> = Day of month
• <HH> = Hour
• <MM> = Minute
• <SS> = Second
• <status> = wakeup enabled (+) or disabled (-)

so like. 31.23.59.59+ means day 31, 23:59:59, wakeup ON. iconic. periodt 💜
