Uptest command line tool
Inspiration was taken from Daniel Stenberg's Curl in order to create a command line client that would be flexible and easy for the end user to utilize to send and debug user-defined payloads. Just like Curl we also have Uptest the command line client and Libuptest as the core library like Libcurl.
Get uptest command line tool:
$ git clone https://github.com/uptest-sc/uptest
$ cd uptest/
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/uptest
Mandoc for Uptest-cli
Uptest client is built with clap and comes prepackaged with clap-mangen. Building uptest manually with cargo will output a mandoc file in the target/man/uptest.man location. Copy it to your mandoc directory which is different depending on what operating system you run.
Install uptest .man on debian:
Step 1:
Run mandb to display the man directory path.
$ mandb
Purging old database entries in /home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v17.8.0/share/man...
Processing manual pages under /home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v17.8.0/share/man...
Processing manual pages under /home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v17.8.0/share/man/cat1...
0 man subdirectories contained newer manual pages.
0 manual pages were added.
0 stray cats were added.
0 old database entries were purged.
Copy over the compiled man pages that was made during the build to your man page path:
$ cp target/release/man/uptest.man /home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v17.8.0/share/man/uptest.1
Rebuild the man cache:
$ mandb
If all is well we can now read uptest documentation with man:
$ man uptest
