✨ c8y-assert ✨

okay so this is a page from the c8y(1) manual — like, the big one, and this is the little corner of it that belongs to c8y assert. bestie, it's giving "tiny command, big family tree" because almost everything here is inherited from the parent command, and we're gonna go through literally all of it. no skipping, i promise 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

c8y-assert — assertion utilities. that's it, that's the whole vibe check.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀
