✨ FS_LISTALIASES ✨

okay bestie, real talk — this is the fs_listaliases page from the AFS Command Reference (that's the manual-name thingie, consider it folded in 💅), and it's literally the shortest lil bop in the whole fs family. No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

fs_listaliases — shows you the current list of aliases for AFS cells. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fs listaliases [-help]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the fs listaliases command shows the list of cell aliases currently in effect — both the ones coming from CellAlias and the ones you made yourself with fs newalias. best of both worlds fr fr.

⚠️ but listen — aliases only work when you're using a Dynamic Root, i.e. the -dynroot option to afsd. no dynroot, no aliases, no vibe. simple as that.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -help — prints the online help for this command. and like, that's it. every other valid option gets straight-up ignored the second you pass this one. it's giving "my way or the highway" 💀

🔥 OUTPUT 🔥

if an alias "openafs" exists for the cell "openafs.org", then the output includes this line:

Alias openafs for cell openafs.org

like, that's the whole output aesthetic. clean, minimal, slay.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

there is exactly one way to invoke fs listaliases — no variations, no remixes, no deluxe edition:

% fs listaliases

periodt. 💅

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

no special privileges are required for this command. none. zero. you don't need root, you don't need admin, you just need vibes (and a working AFS setup, but that's between you and your sysadmin 🫶).

go read those if you wanna understand the why behind the what, iykyk 💜
