FSNIPER(1)

📦 version 1.3.1, in ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

✨ NAME ✨

fsniper — she watches directories and applies rules to newly created files. That's it, that's the whole job, and she's obsessed with it. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fsniper [OPTION]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: fsniper is just sitting there, watching directories, waiting for files to be newly created or modified. The second one pops up, she checks it — and if either its MIME-Type or its name matches a certain filter, she applies the rule. The name-matching can be done with standard wildcards or regex, whichever vibe you're on. 🦋

And where do those rules live? In the file ~/.config/fsniper/config. If you wanna know more about that file, bestie, you gotta go check out section 5. She's not spilling it here. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --daemon — launches fsniper as a daemon. background girlie behavior. 👑
  • --verbose — prints debug information. she will literally tell you everything. no filter. 🗣️
  • --sync — sync mode, and it's for debugging. that's the whole thing. 🙈
  • --log-to-stdout — logs to stdout alongside the usual log file. both. she's doing both. 🫶
  • --help — prints the help and dips. exit, stage left. ✨
  • --version — outputs version information and exits. her little resume moment. ⭐

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • $HOME/.config/fsniper/config — the user configuration file. This is the main character right here: it determines which directories should be watched, and it contains the rules to apply. Everything she does flows from this file. no cap. 💖
