✨ fsfatmount — the LOCAL manual page, bestie ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fsfatmount — mounts an Extended File System (ext) volume

yes. that's the whole vibe. mount the volume. slay. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fsfatmount [-o offset] [-hvV] source

look at her. short. iconic. to the point. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

fsfatmount is a utility to mount an Extended File System (ext) volume. no cap, that's literally the job. 🫶

fsfatmount is part of the libfsfat package. libfsfat is a library to access the Extended File System (ext) format. so like… she's not alone out here, she's part of a whole squad. 🌈

source is the source file. that's the thing you're handing her. the main character of your command. 👑

The options are as follows:

  • -h — shows this help. she's helping!! she's being so helpful!! 😭
  • -o offset — specify the volume offset in bytes. bytes, not vibes. be precise, bestie. 🍓
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. she will talk. a lot. to stderr specifically. 💀
  • -V — print version. she's gonna tell you who she is. confident queen. 👑
  • -X extended_options — extended options to pass to sub system. yes, "sub system", that's how it's written, i'm not touching it, it's not in the synopsis and that's a mystery for the elders. 🙈

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

None

nothing. zero. the void. she doesn't read your env, she doesn't play those games. ✨

🧚 FILES 🧚

None

also nothing!! she is self-contained!! lowkey a minimalist icon. 🎀

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

# fsfatmount /dev/sda1
fsfatmount 20210729

look at that output. 20210729. the date. the flex. she ate and left no crumbs. 🔥

🌸 DIAGNOSTICS 🌸

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. important caveat bestie: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you turned on -v and she's still quiet… it's giving compile-time problem, not a you problem. 🫶
