IBCHECKPORT(8)

💖 NAME 💖

ibcheckport — validate IB port and report errors. yeah bestie, it checks if your port is actually okay or if it's giving broken 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ibcheckport [-h] [-v] [-N | -nocolor] [-G] [-C ca_name] [-P ca_port]
[-t(imeout) timeout_ms]  <lid|guid> <port>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this lil tool checks connectivity and runs some simple sanity checks on the port you point it at. That's it, that's the vibe. 🫶

Quick note on the address tho: the port address is a lid by default — unless you slap the -G option on there, in which case you're giving it a GUID address instead. Choose your fighter 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -G — use a GUID address argument instead of a lid. In most cases it's the Port GUID, bestie. Example: "0x08f1040023" ✨
• -v — crank up the verbosity level. more words, more drama, more info 🗣️
• -N | -nocolor — use mono rather than color mode. no rainbow for you today 🌈❌ (we're devastated)
• -C <ca_name> — use the specified ca_name.
• -P <ca_port> — use the specified ca_port.
• -t <timeout_ms> — override the default timeout for the solicited mads. (also written as -t(imeout) timeout_ms in the synopsis, same thing, she contains multitudes 💅)
