πŸ’– tricklectl(8) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the System Manager's Manual, section 8 β€” yes, the big-league sysadmin section, we love that for us ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

tricklectl β€” the control utility for trickled, periodt πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

tricklectl [options]

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay so, tricklectl is a control utility. its whole thing β€” its entire vibe β€” is letting you query and modify the current state of a trickled bandwidth shaper daemon. so like, you can ask it stuff, you can change stuff. it's giving remote control energy πŸ‘‘

this way you can for example change up- and download rates. literally just reach in there and adjust them. iconic.

now the part nobody wants to hear 😭 in the moment tricklectl is of no use, but we hope to have it ready soon! so like… it exists, it's here, it's just not doing anything yet. main character with no lines. we're manifesting its glow-up tho 🫢

and that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’œ no OPTIONS list, no env vars, no exit statuses β€” just a synopsis and a dream.


mwah πŸ’‹ this lil cutie came from the System Manager's Manual, dated Jan 2005 β€” yes, ancient, a true vintage baddie, older than most of the internet's current drama, and still serving.
