JOME-CTL(1) JOME JOME-CTL(1)

NAME

jome-ctl - control a jome server

SYNOPSIS

jome-ctl SERVER-NAME [pick | quit]

DESCRIPTION

jome-ctl controls the jome(1) server named SERVER-NAME.

See the “Server mode” section and -s option of jome(1) to learn more.

On Unix, jome-ctl reads from and writes to the socket file /tmp/SERVER-NAME.

The two available commands are:

pick (default)

Show the window of the jome server SERVER-NAME to pick an emoji.

If you accept an emoji, then jome closes its window and sends what it prints to the standard output to jome-ctl which prints it as is and exits with status 0.

If you cancel (press Escape or Ctrl+C, or close the window), then jome-ctl doesn’t print anything and exits with status 1.

quit

Terminate the jome server SERVER-NAME, also removing the associated socket file.

EXIT STATUS

0 when the jome server accepts an emoji or 1 otherwise.
