FEXE(1)

💖 FEXE — bestie edition 💖

okay so you know the frysk manual (that's the Frysk fam, section 7, iykyk) — this is its girl fexe. She's in section 1, she's the one you call when you need to know where a thing actually lives. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

fexe — print a process or corefile's executable path 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fexe [options] {program arg ...  | pid... |
     core-file [ core-executable ]... }

like. pick your fighter. a program plus args, some pids, or a core file (optionally with a core-executable). choose your own adventure fr fr 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

fexe prints a processe or corefile's full executable path to standard output. that's it. that's the whole gig. she said "I will tell you the full path and then I will leave" 👑

• -v — more verbose output please, the process, executable, and /proc/PID/exe contents are displayed. the way she spills everything... main character energy for real 🙈

🌸 Standard Frysk Options 🌸

• -exe — The full path of the executable to read. 💖
• -noexe — Do not attempt to read the corresponding executable when loading a core file. (she's choosing peace, and honestly? valid.) ✨
• -sysroot directory — The system root directory under which all executables, libraries, and source are located. it's giving "everything lives under here, bestie" 🎀
• -debug class=level... — Set internal debug-tracing of the specified Java class to level (level can be NONE, INFO, WARNING, FINE, and FINEST). If the level is absent, FINE is assumed; if the class is absent, the global level is set. yes she will absolutely narrate her own inner monologue at whatever volume you pick 😭🔥

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

In this sequence a copy of bash is created and then executed, the running processes path examined:

$ cp /bin/bash /tmp/sh
$ PS1='sh$ ' /tmp/sh
sh$ fexe $$
/tmp/sh
sh$ rm /tmp/sh
sh$ fexe -v $$
1234 null /tmp/sh (deleted)

not the (deleted) at the end 💀 she really said "the file? yeah she's gone, but I remember her." iconic behaviour honestly.
