LEIL-GETTRASHTIME(1)

📦 version 5.12.0, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 LEIL-GETTRASHTIME(1) — bestie edition 🗑️✨

okay so real talk, we're in the LEIL-GETTRASHTIME(1) part of the manual and it's genuinely so much less scary than it sounds, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

leil-gettrashtime, leil-settrashtime — get or set trash time, that's the whole vibe 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

leil gettrashtime [-r] [-n|-h|-H] OBJECT...

leil settrashtime [-r] [-n|-h|-H] SECONDS[+|-] OBJECT...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so gettrashtime and settrashtime both operate on an object's trashtime value — and no, that's not a typo, it's literally spelled trashtime in this house 💅 what it means is the number of seconds the file is preserved in the special trash directory before it's finally removed from the filesystem. so it's like, the grace period, the little layover before deletion, the final rose ceremony if you will 🌹

trashtime must be a non-negative integer value, no cap (like, literally no negative numbers, don't even try it 🙈).

and gettrashtime? it prints the current trashtime value of the given object(s). that's it. that's the whole job. icon behaviour honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -r — this option enables recursive mode, which works as usual for every given file, but for every given directory it additionally prints the current trashtime value of all contained objects (files and directories). so it's like, going through the whole group chat instead of just the pinned message 💬✨
  • N[+|-] — okay this one's a little spicy 🌶️ if the new value is specified in N+ form, the trashtime value is increased to N for objects with a lower trashtime value and left unchanged for the rest. similarly, if the new value is specified as N-, the trashtime value is decreased to N for objects with a higher trashtime value and left unchanged for the rest. these tools can be used on any file, directory or deleted (trash) file. so yeah, glow-ups and glow-downs, both valid 🫶
  • -n, -h, -H — these options are described in leil(1). not me gatekeeping, go read the main character's page 📖👑
