ratbagd(8)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet ratbagd — the system daemon that lets you introspect and modify configurable mice 🐭💖 this is the ratbagd(8) page, and yes she's a system manager's manual girlie, living in section 8, and she's here to spill everything about your gaming mouse.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ratbagd [--verbose[=debug]|--quiet|--version|--help]

that's it, that's the whole summoning ritual ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ratbagd starts the daemon. periodt.

but lowkey listen — it shouldn't be invoked directly 🙅‍♀️ nope, not you, not your terminal, not your little shell script. ratbagd is normally started through DBus activation, so it just shows up on its own like a main character when it's needed. don't go dragging her out by hand, she has a whole system for this 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --help — prints the help and dips out. short, sweet, iconic 🎀
• --verbose, --verbose=debug — turns on verbose output, and optionally includes the raw messages as sent and received from the device. you should use this to debug any issues with the device 🔥 like literally this is the one you reach for when your mouse is acting up.
• --quiet — disables any output but error messages. silence, but not total silence, because errors still gotta be heard 😭
• --version — shows the version number. that's it. that's the whole thing ⭐

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• ratbagctl(1) — go read that one next, bestie, iykyk 🫶
