💖 incus-image-export — bestie's guide to yeeting images out of Incus 💖

okay so this is a page from the Incus - Command line client manual (section 1, the command-line one, iykyk) and it's literally just about one little command: incus-image-export. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

incus-image-export — Export and download images

like. it takes your images and it EXPORTS them. downloads them. gives them to you. the way that this command is simply doing the most for you 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus image export [:] [] [flags]

that's the shape of it. command, then some stuff in brackets (which are optional, diva behavior), then [flags] for all the extra little switches. slay.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Description:

Export and download images

that's literally it. that's the mission statement. 📦✨

here's the tea tho: the output target? it's optional. and if you don't say where you want the thing to land, it just plops itself right into your current working directory. no big deal, it knows where home is 🏠

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one (1) single option on this command itself. she's lowkey minimal but she's highkey effective. periodt.

  • --vm[=false] — Query virtual machine images 💻✨

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these bad boys aren't even your command's own options, they're inherited from the parent commands up the chain. nepotism but make it CLI. iconic honestly 💜

  • --debug[=false] — shows you ALL the debug messages 🔍 (yes, all of them, she's not shy)
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, this explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. it's giving "read the receipt before you buy" 📝 and ngl that's so valid of it
  • --force-local[=false] — forces it to use the local unix socket 🔌 (local only bestie, no wandering off)
  • -h, --help[=false] — Print help 🙋‍♀️ she's the friend who tells you how everything works
  • --project="" — Override the source project 📁
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information 🤫 (main character who says nothing and just delivers)
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌿 (little peek behind the curtain)
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages 📢 she's a yapper and we love her for it
  • --version[=false] — Print version number 🔢 gotta know what era we're in
🌟 also heads up, these inherited flags are written with [=false] next to them, so false is the default for all of those booleans. the flags only turn ON when you actually ask for them. periodt.
