TITLE

spacetrack-identity - Report the user's Space Track identity

SYNOPSIS

spacetrack-identity
spacetrack-identity -help
spacetrack-identity -version

or, if you have any of a number of Unix shells,

export eval `spacetrack-identity`

OPTIONS

-basic

If asserted, this option causes the output to be punctuated with a colon (':', think HTTP basic authentication) rather then a slash ('/', think Oracle). Both are understood by Astro::SpaceTrack.

The default is -nobasic.

-help

This option displays the documentation for this script. The script then exits.

-hide

If this Boolean option is asserted, the identity file, if any, is renamed so that it will not be found by Astro::SpaceTrack.

If it is negated (as -nohide) it will be renamed back.

Either way, the script then exits.

-version

This option displays the version of this script. The script then exits.

DETAILS

This Perl script reports the user's Space Track identity. On success, the output is

SPACETRACK_USER=username/password

unless -basic is specified, in which case you get a colon (':') rather than a slash ('/').

On failure, the script dies.
