finger (RFC 1288) server-side daemon
====================================

finger is both a protocol and a utility to get the information and status
from a user on a distant machine. It was standardized in `RFC 742`_
in 1977, then in `RFC 1288`_ in 1991, and has been abandoned since.

While describing the protocol in `a blog post of mine`_, I wanted
to implement this protocol for fun, but didn't want to present the
real information about the users on my server, so I made this to present
some fictional information in order to be able to tell a story through
finger.

You can find more information on `the fingerd homepage
<https://fingerd.touhey.pro/>`_.

What is left to do
------------------

For further versions:

- add tests.
- add a live action interface (where a port/socket is opened and updates
  are read and applied through it).
- make external commands or actions from a scenario, to make it more
  believable! although this might need a switch from outside the scenario
  to be sure this behaviour is wanted (e.g. a CLI/env option).
- add a Win32 native interface.
