💖 KEYTAB2SHISHI 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the keytab2shishi page — it lives in section 1 of the manual, aka the User Commands girlies. it's the Shishi host key conversion tool, and it is genuinely so useful, no cap. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

keytab2shishi — Shishi host key conversion tool

like. that's the whole name. short, iconic, does exactly what it says on the tin 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

keytab2shishi [OPTION]... [INFILE [OUTFILE]]...

so you give it some OPTIONs, and then optionally an INFILE and an OUTFILE, and honestly the ... at the end is just out here vibing. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole deal: it reads keytab data from INFILE (which is usually /etc/krb5.keytab, like, that's the standard spot) and then it writes Shishi hostkeys out to OUTFILE. and if you don't bother specifying INFILE and OUTFILE? no stress. it just uses the defaults. main character energy fr fr 👑

here's every single option, don't skip any of them, i know you want to:

  • -h, --help — prints help and then dips. bye! 👋
  • -V, --version — prints the version and then dips. also bye! 💜
  • -R, --reverse — flips the whole thing around: it reads Shishi hostkeys from INFILE and writes keytab data to OUTFILE instead. it's giving remix. it's giving the reverse uno card 🔄 (default=off)
  • -v, --verbose — produces verbose output. and the way that you can use it multiple times to increase the amount of information?? obsessed. stack those -vs, bestie, go feral 🗣️
  • -q, --quiet — don't produce any diagnostic output. absolute silence. peace and quiet. shhh 🤫 (default=off)
lowkey important: mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. so like, if the long version needs a value, the short version needs that same value. don't try to skip it, she WILL notice 😭

🍓 REPORTING BUGS 🍓

found a bug? first of all, sending you strength. second of all, report it to <bug-shishi@gnu.org>. that's the address. the whole address. go tell them, they wanna know 💖
