KEYD(8)

📦 version 0.6.3, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 NAME 💖

keydctl — bestie's lil command-line remote control for an onak keyd daemon 🎛️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

keydctl [ options ] command

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so keydctl is a command line client, and its whole job is talking to a backend keyd daemon 🫶 It does the stuff that's specifically about keyd, like, keyd-flavored things — not the generic keyserver operations, because those live somewhere else. If you wanna do key-related operations, go read onak(1), fr fr 📖💅

✨ Options ✨

  • -c FILE — use FILE as the config file instead of the default one. your config, your rules 💁‍♀️
  • -h — display help text. the classic. the icon. 🎀

👑 Commands 👑

  • check — queries whether keyd is running and accepting commands. Returns 0 if it is, 1 otherwise. Outputs nothing to stdout/stderr — silent, mysterious, main character energy 💀✨
  • quit — requests that keyd exits cleanly. polite exit, no drama, we love to see it 🕊️
  • status — displays the status of a running keyd. Currently that means: the protocol version in use, when keyd was started, the number of client connections seen, and a breakdown of the commands seen 📊🔥

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/onak.ini — the default configuration file 🌈

💜 NOTES 💜

This man page could probably do with some more details. (not me exposing the docs like this 😭 — but fr, that's what it says, and honestly? relatable.)
