tntnet(8)

💖 tntnet(8) — the Tntnet users guide, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about tntnet — yes that's the manual name, section 8, she's a whole vibe ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tntnet — it's a web application server for c++, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tntnet [-c file] [--logall]

tntnet-C [-q query-string] componentId ...

that's the whole shape of her. two moods. pick one 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this page is the briefly version — it documents the tntnet command, the basics, the tea ☕

and what is tntnet? it's a web server that can generate dynamic content via precompiled C++ modules. like. she serves pages but the pages are compiled c++ modules. main character energy fr fr 🔥

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's a summary of the options, all of them, not skipping a single one, because we don't do that here 💖

• -c file — use file as the configuration file. and if you leave -c out entirely? then the first nonoption argument gets used as the config file instead. sneaky but iconic.
• --logall — initializes logging earlier than usual. normally logging gets initialized after starting the listeners and changing user, so that logfiles get created with the right owner. but for debugging reasons, this option forces that whole thing to happen earlier. it's giving "i need the logs NOW" 😭
• -C — call components and print the result to stdout, instead of starting tntnet as a webserver. so instead of being a server she's just... a little component-caller. we love a range 👑
• -q query-string — in -C mode, pass this query string to the component. and the best part? you can repeat this option multiple times so passing name-value-pairs is easy peasy 🍓

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

tntnet -C -q arg1=35 -q arg2=7 -q op=/ calc@calc

this calls the component calc@calc with query parameters and prints the result to stdout. look at her go 💅✨

---

🧚 FILES 🧚

• /etc/tntnet/tntnet.xml — the default configuration file. that's the one. the default. 🎀

---

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

• TNTNET_CONF — this gets checked for the configuration file name if it's not specified on the command line. so if you forgot -c, she looks here. thoughtful queen 🫶
