πŸ’– RLINETD(8) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for rlinetd β€” yeah, the other internet super-server, and yes she's serving fr fr πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

rlinetd β€” an(other) internet super-server 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rlinetd [-f|--config <config-file>] [-p|--parser <parser-module>]
[-d|--debug] [-h|--help]

that's the whole vibe, no cap, every flag laid out for you πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

So like, rlinetd is a connection manager β€” she binds and listens to a whole bunch of ports, and when somebody actually connects, she performs the specified actions. main character energy, honestly ✨

that's it. that's the whole job. she sits there, she listens, she does the thing when a connection shows up. iconic behavior. πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

The program will accept a number of arguments to adjust the startup sequence. (aka you can tweak how she wakes up) 🌈

  • -d, --debug β€” a flag that raises the debug level πŸ›πŸ”. Amongst other things, this will prevent dissociation from the controlling terminal and give output on stderr. So basically she stays attached to your terminal and yaps at you on stderr instead of ghosting into the background. πŸ‘€
  • -h, --help β€” will give you a brief synopsis of the options 🫢. She'll tell you what she can do, quickly, no long story. ✨
  • -f, --config <config-file> β€” lets you specify an alternative configuration file to be read πŸ“–. Not feeling the default? Bring your own. πŸ’…
  • -p, --parser <parser-module> β€” lets you specify an alternative parser module to be used when parsing the configuration file πŸ”§. Different parser, same slay. πŸ¦‹

πŸ—‚οΈ FILES πŸ—‚οΈ

  • /etc/rlinetd.conf β€” the default configuration file 🌸
  • /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/rlientd/libparse.so β€” the default parser module πŸŽ€
bestie, note that path exactly β€” it is literally spelled rlientd in there. do not "fix" it, that's how it's written, periodt πŸ’€

πŸ‘€ SEE ALSO πŸ‘€

  • rlinetd.conf(5) β€” go read her config sister, she's got lore πŸ’œ
