✨ SECURIT...TVERIFY(8) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — yes it's a Perl thing, don't come for me 💅 — and it lives in section 8 of the manual, the big SECURIT...TVERIFY(8) energy. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

security_fake_certverify — it's a fake cert validation helper for Squid. a fake one. yes queen, the name is telling you exactly what it is 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

security_fake_certverify [-d | --debug] [-h | --help]

that's the whole vibe. two options, no drama ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it grabs the SSL certificate error list from Squid, and then it just... echoes it right back. no changes, no edits, no thoughts, head empty 😌 it's literally the "return to sender" of cert errors, and honestly? iconic 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h | --help — prints you a brief little help message, so you're not out here guessing 💖
  • -d | --debug — turns on debug messages, and they go to stderr. so if something's acting sus, this is your girl 🦋✨
