πŸ‘‘ FAXDELUSER β€” it's giving "delete that user, bestie" πŸ’…

okay so this is FAXDELUSER(8C), a lil HylaFAX utility, and honestly? she's simple, she's direct, she does ONE thing and she does it slayfully. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

faxdeluser β€” delete a fax user from the permissions file. that's it. that's the job. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

/usr/bin/faxdeluser [ -f permissions file ] username

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so faxdeluser deletes all the entries with the username you hand her from the HylaFAX permissions database β€” and yes, that's the one documented in hosts.hfaxd(5F)), go read it, it's important, iykyk. πŸ’œ

not me about to tell you there's another way to do this tho: users can also be deleted through the ``SITE DELUSER'' feature from an administrative client. lowkey convenient, highkey a totally different thing.

because here's the tea β˜• β€” faxdeluser works with the hosts.hfaxd(5F)) file directly. she is NOT an administrative client. she does not operate as one. she simply walks up to the file and edits it herself, main character energy, no middleman. periodt. πŸ’…


✨ OPTIONS ✨

the options are giving "short list, big impact":

  • -f permissions-file β€” use a permissions file other than the default. that's the whole option. she's not complicated, she's iconic. 🫢

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • faxadduser(8C) β€” the opposite queen, she ADDS them back πŸ‘‘
  • hosts.hfaxd(5F) β€” the file itself, the moment, the lore ⭐

πŸ’€ heads up bestie: this really does delete all matching entries for that username, so double-check the name before you send it. no undo button in the group chat, fr fr.

that's the whole page, you're welcome, go forth and delete responsibly 🧚

this cutie is from Aug 10, 1999, and she lives in section FAXDELUSER(8C) β€” vintage but still serving πŸ’–πŸŒΈπŸ¦‹
