KEYD(8)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the page for onak-keydctl — it's the little bestie that controls an onak keyd instance 💅 (also known as keydctl, in section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, if you're keeping track 🎀)

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

onak-keydctl [ options ] command

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so keydctl is a command line client, right? and what it does is talk to a backend onak-keyd daemon. that's the whole vibe. ✨

and like, important distinction bestie: it's built to do stuff that's specifically about onak-keyd, not the generic keyserver things. so if you're looking for how to do key-related operations, that's not here — go read onak(1) for all of that 💖

💜 Options 💜

• -c FILE — use FILE as the config file instead of the default one. like, your config, your rules 💅
• -h — displays the help text. short king. we love him 🎀

🦋 Commands 🦋

• check — asks if onak-keyd is running and accepting commands. returns 0 if it is, 1 if it isn't. and it says absolutely nothing to stdout/stderr — silent, mysterious, iconic 💀
• quit — requests that onak-keyd exits cleanly. bye bestie, no drama, clean exit only 👑
• status — shows the status of a running onak-keyd. currently that means: the protocol version in use, when onak-keyd was started, the number of client connections seen, and a breakdown of the commands seen. receipts, basically 🍓

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

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

---

💀 NOTES 💀

This man page could probably do with some more details.

(not me reading that and going "yeah, lowkey, same" 😭 it's in the original, i'm just the messenger, fr fr)

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 the footer down there is just KEYD(8) — no version, no date, nothing extra, so that's literally all the sign-off energy we got. go forth and control your keyd instance, main character 🫶✨
