💅 RACTL(8) — Router Advertisement Control 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the System Manager's Manual section, grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ractl — Router Advertisement Control (part of ratools/ractl, iykyk)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ractl [-s|--socket UNIXSOCKET] command...

like, that's the whole vibe. one program, a socket if you want it, and then whatever command you're feeling. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ractl is the control program for the Router Advertisement Daemon (that's ratools/rad, bestie) and the whole point is it gives you an easy to use command line interface. no cap. you just talk to it and it handles the daemon stuff for you. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --socket — overrides the default path of the control socket. like if you wanna point it somewhere else, this is your girl. 💅

⭐ BUILT-IN COMMANDS ⭐

these come with the program, no extra modules required, we love a self-sufficient icon:

  • dump — prints the configuration of all Router Advertisements to stdout. yes, all of them. everything. the whole config. screaming it into your terminal. 😭
  • show — shows all Router Advertisements. just, like, shows them. the visual of it all. 👀
  • version — shows version information for ratools/ractl. so you know exactly which era of slay you're working with. ✨
  • loglevel — sets the logging level of ratools/rad. the possible values are info, warning, and error. pick your noise level bestie, no judgement. 🔥

🧚 MODULE COMMANDS 🧚

surprise! there are more commands provided by modules. not gonna list them here because honestly? go read the module's manual pages. they have their own whole thing going on and they deserve their moment. 🫶
