IRNETD(4)

📦 version 0.9.18, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 IRNETD — the manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay bestie, this is the irnetd page from the Linux-IrDA man pages, and we're doing this together. grab a snack. 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

irnetd — handles incoming IrNET connections for you, automatically, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

irnetd [ppp-options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional thing in brackets and we move. ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

irnetd is a very simple daemon that automatically handles incoming IrNET connections. like, it's not doing the most — it's just doing the one thing, and doing it well. main character energy honestly.

Every single time a peer tries to connect to the local computer, irnetd generates the relevant pppd(8) command to start an IrNET server that handles this peer. that's the whole job. it sees a peer, it spins up the server, slay. 🔥

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • ppp-options — override the default pppd(8) options. these options just get passed straight on the command line of pppd(8). no filtering, no remixing, they go through as-is. 🫶

The default options are:

noauth nolock connect-delay 0 idle 10

and those should fit most usages. lowkey a solid starting point, ngl. 💜
