LISTEN1(8)

🎀 NAME 🎀

listen1 — listen for calls on a network device. This is the LISTEN1(8) page from the System Manager's Manual, and yes bestie, we’re getting into it 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

aux/listen1 [ -v ] addr cmd [ args...  ]

Okay so that’s the whole shape of it: you call aux/listen1, optionally with -v, then an addr, then cmd, then any args... you wanna pass along.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Listen1 is a lightweight listener intended for personal use, modeled from Inferno’s listen(1). It’s giving tiny-but-iconic service energy ✨

It announces on address, running cmd args... for each incoming connection; the network directory is passed in the environment as $net. That $net detail is important, iykyk 🫶

The -v flag causes verbose logging on standard output. So if you want to watch what’s happening, that’s your girl 💖
