✨ AFSSH(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to afssh — the little wrapper that's giving main character energy for your ssh-agent-filter and ssh situation 💅 (and yeah, this is a General Commands Manual page, hi, we're fancy now 👑)

🌸 NAME 🌸

afssh — a wrapper around ssh-agent-filter and ssh. literally that's it, that's the serve 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

afssh [ssh-agent-filter options] – [ssh arguments]

afssh – [ssh arguments]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so afssh (short for agent filtered ssh, the way that acronym ate 💅) kicks off ssh-agent-filter(1), and it hands over all the arguments you gave to afssh that came before the separator --.

and if you gave it no arguments before that --? then it's not me being lazy, it's whiptail(1) or dialog(1) stepping in to literally ask you which keys you wanna forward. interactive queen behavior 💅✨

once ssh-agent-filter(1) is all set up and cute, ssh(1) gets started — with -A, no cap — plus the rest of the arguments you put after the --.

and then!! when ssh(1) exits, the ssh-agent-filter(1) gets killed off, because leaving tons of them just idling around? not on our watch, that's giving clutter 😭🧹

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — prints a short usage description, then runs ssh-agent-filter(1) with --help and ssh(1) with --help. three help vibes in one, iconic honestly ⭐
  • -- — the mandatory separator between the options you're passing to ssh-agent-filter(1) and the ones you're passing to ssh(1). mandatory!! like, you cannot skip it, it's not optional bestie 💀

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

it returns the return value of ssh(1) … unless setting up the ssh-agent-filter failed, and in that case the return value might be any non-zero value. so like, chaotic, undefined-ish energy there 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

ssh-agent-filter(1), ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-add(1), whiptail(1), dialog(1) — go read those too, they're the whole friend group fr fr 🦋
