  ota_version           OTA Version (ro.build.version.ota).
  {1,2,3,4}             RealmeUI Version (ro.build.version.realmeui).
  nv_identifier         NV (carrier) identifier (ro.build.oplus_nv_id) (if
                        none, provide 0 or omit).

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v {0,1,2,3,4,5}, --verbosity {0,1,2,3,4,5}
                        Set the verbosity level. Range: 0 (no logging) to 5
                        (debug). Default: 4 (info).
  -s, --silent          Enable silent output (purge logging). Shortcut for
                        '-v0'.

request options:
  -r {0,1,2,3}, --region {0,1,2,3}
                        Use custom region for the request (GL = 0, CN = 1, IN
                        = 2, EU = 3).
  -g GUID, --guid GUID  The guid of the third line in the file
                        /data/system/openid_config.xml (only required to
                        extract 'CBT' in China).
  -i IMEI [IMEI ...], --imei IMEI [IMEI ...]
                        Specify one or two IMEIs for the request.
  -b, --beta            Try to get a test version (IMEI probably required).
  --old-method          Use old method for the request (only applies if
                        rui_version >= 2).

output options:
  -d DUMP, --dump DUMP  Save request response into a file.
  -o ONLY, --only ONLY  Only show the desired value from the response.

Additional notes

• If your request returns flow limit or status code 500, try to wait a few minutes and then request again.
• You can use the ALL_PROXY environment variable to send the request via a proxy (useful if an update can't be found in your country). On Windows you can run set ALL_PROXY=ADDRESS:PORT, while on Linux and MacOS you can do export ALL_PROXY=ADDRESS:PORT.
• Since Android 11 (RUI2), Realme started using components, which means you won't be able to get a full OTA link.
• The --beta option might not work correctly, it has not been fully tested!
