Curl command reference with most used options. No overwhelming man page.

Curl Reference

Use the curl command line tool from your terminal window to access web pages, resources, and API's. This swiss-army knife of the internet also supports many more protocols and tools.

Command format

curl [options] URL

The complete, offical reference page is here.

Modern Command Line

Modern Command Line

Links from my recent dive into exploring a modern terminal setup. I've shared videos I've seen as well as kids these days to that instead of blog posts.

Modern Terminal

  • iTerm2 - (I now like the "Tango Dark" Theme that ships with iTerm)
  • https://alacritty.org/ - Cross-platform terminal (Mac, Linux, BSD) with required features
  • Remember to use 256-color mode terminal and Unicode/locale modes! (see fonts)

Modern Font

These fonts have been patched to include icons useful for terminals (files, utilities, ecosystems)

PostgreSQL and Pgpool Architecture

Hey! I saw this has been indexed by the search engines. It is a first draft of a post I ended up publishing on my blog at: Scaling PostgreSQL With Pgpool and PgBouncer

Thanks for stopping by!

Perl References for Kittens

Perl References

Simple Perl variables are called scalars. Examples of scalar values are

   $number      = 123;
   $string      = "String";
   $file_handle = open "<filename";
   $null_value  = undef;
 $instance = MyClass-&gt;new;
