💖 AA-FEATURES-ABI 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're talking about aa-features-abi ✨ — that's a section 1 manual page from the AppArmor family, and she is lowkey iconic. She extracts, validates and manipulates AppArmor feature abis and she does it with main character energy. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa-features-abi — the girl who extracts, validates and manipulates AppArmor feature abis. no notes, she just does all three 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

aa-features-abi [OPTIONS] <SOURCE> [OUTPUT OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: aa-features-abi grabs a features abi and sends it either to stdout or to a file you picked out yourself. adorable, right? 🎀

now the rules, and yes you have to follow them:

  • you must give her a SOURCE_OPTION. non-negotiable. she will not guess.
  • if you don't give her an output option? she just writes the features abi to stdout. default behaviour, she's chill like that 💜

👑 OPTIONS 👑

aa-features-abi accepts the following arguments:

  • -h, --help — shows you a brief usage guide. a lil map so you don't get lost 🗺️
  • -d, --debug — spills messages with debugging info. for when you're in your detective era 🔍
  • -v, --verbose — spills messages with stats. numbers!! she loves a number 📊

🎀 SOURCE 🎀

(you need one of these, remember? pick your girl 🌸)

  • -x, --extract — extracts the features abi for the kernel. straight from the source, no cap 🧚
  • -f FILE, --file=FILE — loads the features abi from FILE and sends it along to the OUTPUT OPTIONS. it's giving "bring your own" 🍓

🌈 OUTPUT OPTIONS 🌈

  • --stdout — writes the features abi to stdout. and yes, this is the default if you don't specify any output option at all. she's the fallback queen 👑
  • -w FILE, --write FILE — writes the features abi to FILE. pick a file, any file 💖
