💖 LIVE-BUILD(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Debian Live Project manual page, sit down, hydrate, we're doing this 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lb testroot — bestie check: is this system being built as root? 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lb testroot [live-build options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lb testroot is a high-level command (we call that a porcelain command, iykyk) that lives inside live-build(7), the Debian Live tool suite. it's giving very "one job, does it perfectly" 💅

and that job? lb testroot simply checks to see if you are root. that's it. that's the whole vibe.

if you're not root, it exits with an error. no discussion, no negotiation, no "but bestie—". Debian Live images must currently be built as real root. periodt.

⚠️ note, and this one matters: support for using fakeroot(1) and sudo(8) internally in live-build itself is still experimental. however, calling a helper yourself with sudo is safe. so like, sudo from the outside = fine, sudo baked into live-build = still cooking 🧪

✨ OPTIONS ✨

lb testroot has no specific options of its own, but it understands all the generic live-build options like the icon it is 👑

  • generic live-build options — lb testroot gets all of them. the complete list lives in live-build(7), so go read that one, bestie 📖

🎀 FILES 🎀

none

like literally none, nothing to see here, no files, empty, void, she's minimal 🙈
