Interactive shell (`gossipper shell` / `gossipper cli`)¶

The line-oriented shell accumulates the same CLI flags as the main binary, then runs the SIP engine with run. Useful when tuning parameters without long one-liners.

Launch¶

gossipper shell
# or
gossipper cli

The sipp prefix is not supported here — use gossipper shell / gossipper cli directly (gossipper sipp shell is rejected; see cli.md).

Commands (summary)¶

Command	Purpose
`help`	Command list
`wizard`	Guided prompts for a minimal UAC or UAS profile
`hint`	Suggestions for missing or risky flags from the current session
`set <flag> [value]`	Set a flag (readable names: `destination`, `builtin_scenario`, `local_bind_ip`, `destination_host` + `destination_port`, …; short `rsa` / `sn` / `i` still work)
`set`	With no args: short cheatsheet of common flags
`unset <flag>`	Remove a flag from the session
`show`	Print effective argv and values
`parse` / `check`	`cli.Parse` + `launcher.Prepare` only (no traffic)
`run`	Execute the scenario (Ctrl+C to stop)
`reset`	Clear all session flags
`quit` / `exit`	Leave the shell

Lines starting with # are comments.

Example: UAC then run¶

gossipper shell — type help, hint, or wizard. Ctrl+D or quit to exit.
gossipper> hint
Hints for the current session:
  • Session is empty. Quick start: wizard   or at least: set builtin_scenario uac + set destination HOST:PORT + set local_bind_ip LOCAL_IP
gossipper> set builtin_scenario uac
ok: -sn
gossipper> set destination 127.0.0.1:5060
ok: -rsa
gossipper> set local_bind_ip 127.0.0.1
ok: -i
gossipper> set listen_port 5060
ok: -p
gossipper> set total_calls 1
ok: -m
gossipper> set stat_period 5s
ok: -stat_period
gossipper> parse
parse ok
gossipper> run
running… (Ctrl+C to stop)
…
run finished

Example: wizard¶

gossipper> wizard
=== gossipper quick wizard ===
…
Wizard done. Review: show   suggestions: hint   then: run
gossipper> show
gossipper> run

Full-screen TUI¶

For a graphical form and live dashboard instead of a REPL, use:

gossipper tui
# or
gossipper -interactive

See docs/tui.md for TUI-specific behaviour.

Help from the binary¶

gossipper -h

The preamble lists shell, cli, tui, and -interactive, then points to gossipper sipp -h (full SIPp-compat flags) and gossipper server -h (management-oriented groups) — no long scenario list on gossipper -h alone.
