FSCLFSINFO(1)

💖 fsclfsinfo(1) — the local manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick before we dive in: this is a LOCAL manual page, it lives in section 1, and its whole name is fsclfsinfo. Cute, short, to the point. Now let's get into it ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

fsclfsinfo — the tool that spills all the tea about a Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) format. it literally just tells you info about it. that's the job. that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fsclfsinfo [-ahvV] source

like, that's it. flags then a source. so simple, so iconic 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so fsclfsinfo is a utility whose entire main character energy is: determine information about a Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) format. that's it, that's the mission 🔥

it's part of the libfsclfs package, iykyk. and libfsclfs itself is a library for accessing the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) format — so think of fsclfsinfo as the little front-end bestie that lets you peek at that stuff from the command line 💖

source is the source file. yes, that's the argument. no cap.

the options are as follows, and there are literally only four so no excuses, learn them all:

• -a — shows allocation information. like it's giving you the allocation receipts 🧾
• -h — shows this help. your lil emergency "what do i do" button 🙈
• -v — verbose output to stderr. it gets chatty, but only on stderr, so don't panic
• -V — print version. the classic "which build am i even on" move ⭐

---

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

None

literally nothing. no environment variables are reading your vibes. zero. nada. 🫶

---

🌈 FILES 🌈

None

no files involved either. she's low-maintenance like that 💜

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

okay here's the actual demo, bestie — running it against /dev/sda1:

# fsclfsinfo /dev/sda1
fsclfsinfo 20130915

Common Log File System (CLFS) store information:
      ...

see that 20130915? that's the version line it prints. and then it dumps the CLFS store information block — the ... is just the man page being mysterious and not showing you the whole thing 👑 run it yourself, live a little.

---

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

important caveat time, and i need you to actually read this one:

errors, verbose and debug output are all printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. and — plot twist — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you pass -v and get nothing extra, that's why. it's not you. it's the build 💀
