💖 FS_SETCBADDR(1) — AFS Command Reference 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about the AFS Command Reference page for fs_setcbaddr, which is the whole entire vibe of "tell my client where to get its callbacks from". iykyk 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fs_setcbaddr — Configure IP address used for AFS callbacks

so like... the name literally tells you what it is. iconic behavior fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fs setcbaddr [-addr <address>] [-help]

look at her. so simple. so clean. a whole main character. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

fs setcbaddr changes the IP address used by the client for callbacks.

that's it. that's the whole plot. it swaps out which address your client is using when it's doing callback stuff. no cap, it does exactly one (1) thing and it does it well. periodt. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -addr <address>] — the brand new callback address, bestie. this is the one you're swapping in. 💖
  • -help — prints the online help for this command, and just so you know: all other valid options are ignored when you use it. so don't be cute and stack it with other flags expecting both to happen, because that is simply not the situation. 🙈

🌈 OUTPUT 🌈

this command produces no output other than error messages.

translation: if it works, it stays silent. it's giving "no thoughts, just vibes". if you hear nothing, that's the win. 😭💀

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

% fs setcbaddr 10.2.4.23

and that's it!! no output, no confetti, just a job done quietly. chef's kiss. 🤌✨

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

the issuer must be the local superuser.

so yeah, this is not a "just anyone can do it" situation. you need the big-guns access. root energy only, bestie. 💅

fr fr though — no superuser, no callback address change. them's the rules.
