FSXFSMOUNT(1)

💖 fsxfsmount — the local manual page bestie 💖

okay so you found fsxfsmount(1), the local man page, and honestly? it's giving "small utility, big job." let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fsxfsmount — mounts a X File System (XFS) volume. yes that's the whole job. she mounts. she slays. periodt 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fsxfsmount [-o offset] [-hvV] source

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so fsxfsmount is a utility to mount a X File System (XFS) volume. that's it. that's the assignment and she ate 🔥

fr fr though, fsxfsmount is part of the libfsxfs package, and libfsxfs is a library to access the X File System (XFS) format. so like, the whole friend group is here 🫶

source is the source file. that's your main character, the thing you're pointing at 👑

the options are as follows:

• -h — shows this help. your little "wait what does this do again" button, no shame in it 🙈
• -o offset — specify the volume offset in bytes. yes, in bytes, not blocks, not vibes. bytes 🧚
• -v — verbose output to stderr. she starts yapping (affectionately) and honestly it's useful 💬
• -V — print version. identity check ⭐
• -X extended_options — extended options to pass to sub system. hand your little extras over to the sub system and let it cook 🍓

lowkey note: the synopsis line up top shows [-o offset] [-hvV] source, but -X extended_options is definitely in the options list, so don't come for me, I'm just reporting what the page says 💀

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None. nothing. zero. the environment said "not my business" and honestly, respect 🙈

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

None. also nothing. she's self-sufficient 💅

---

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the demonstration, the serve:

# fsxfsmount /dev/sda1
fsxfsmount 20210729

look at her go 🦋

---

💜 DIAGNOSTICS 💜

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. and here's the little catch: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you built her without the yapping enabled, no amount of -v is gonna make her spill 😭
