💅 NAME 💅

ok so listen bestie — this is inarpd, the Inverse ARP daemon for Linux. that's the whole vibe. InARP, but as a daemon, but for Linux. periodt ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

inarpd [-r] [+r] [-r] [+r] [-v] interface ...

yes, you're reading that right — the -r / +r pair shows up twice, fr fr. that's literally what the synopsis says, so that's what you get. no editing, no "fixing", we respect the text 💅 and yeah, you give it one or more interface names at the end. plural. more than one is fine. go off 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

it's an Inverse ARP (InARP) daemon for Linux. that's it, that's the description. short, sweet, main character energy, no filler 🦋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -r — do not add a host IP route for neighbours. this is the default behaviour, so like, you didn't even have to ask 🫶
  • +r — okay NOW we add a host IP route for neighbours. plus sign rights 💖
  • -v — print info messages. a little bit of chatter, as a treat 🌸
  • -v -v — print network packets. double the -v, double the chaos 👀
  • -v -v -v — print debug messages. triple -v = full unhinged debug mode, iykyk 🔥
ngl the pattern is iconic: stack those -vs and the output gets louder every single time. one for info, two for packets, three for debug. no cap 💀
