💅 GRUB-MKRELPATH — bestie's guide to the grub-mkrelpath girlies ✨

okay so real talk, this one's a tiny little utility from the GRUB family of user commands, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." let me put you on. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

grub-mkrelpath — no cap, its whole job is to make a system path relative to its root. that's it. that's the gig. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

grub-mkrelpath [OPTION...] PATH

so you hit it with some OPTION...s (or don't, live your truth), and then the one thing it actually wants from you: a PATH. feed it a path, get a path back. slay. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

here's the whole vibe: it transforms a system filename into a GRUB one. that's the transformation. system path in, GRUB path out. literally the entire personality. 🔥

and because no program is complete without them, it comes with the classic trio of options:

  • -?, --help — gives you this very help list, so you can read the help while being helped. meta. 💅
  • --usage — gives you a short usage message instead of the whole thing. for when you're in a rush, we get it. 🩷
  • -V, --version — prints the program version. so you know exactly which GRUB you're dealing with. iykyk ✨

🍓 REPORTING BUGS 🍓

found a bug? (rude of it.) report bugs to <bug-grub@gnu.org>. be nice, be specific, include the details. the devs deserve a good bug report, fr fr 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

also, the full documentation for grub-mkrelpath is maintained as a Texinfo manual. so if the info and grub-mkrelpath programs are properly installed at your site, this command

info grub-mkrelpath

should give you access to the complete manual. yes, info is lowkey vintage, but it ate and it's still serving. 📚

🎀 cute little sign-off 🎀

this masterpiece of a manpage comes to you courtesy of GRUB 2.12-1ubuntu7.3, dated March 2025 — so yeah, it's fresh, it's current, it's that girl. 💜

now go forth and make those paths relative, bestie. ✨🌸🦋
