LIZARDFS-FILEINFO(1)

💖 LIZARDFS-FILEINFO 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a page from the lizardfs-fileinfo manual — yes, the whole thing is literally called LIZARDFS-FILEINFO(1), section 1, the user-commands section, iykyk. and it does exactly one job and it does it flawlessly. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

lizardfs-fileinfo — locate chunks 🌸

like. that's it. that's the whole mission statement. it finds chunks. iconic behaviour, no notes.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lizardfs fileinfo FILE...

you call the lizardfs command, you pass it the fileinfo subcommand, and then you hand it one or more files — FILE... — because she can absolutely handle multiple at once, she's not fragile 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: fileinfo prints the location — that's the chunkserver host and port, both of them, every time — of each chunk copy that belongs to the file(s) you specified. every single copy, not just one. she's thorough like that 🫶

and the part that makes her genuinely special? you can use her on any file. any file at all. including deleted ones — yes, the ones sitting in the trash. 😭 not me getting emotional over a debugging tool. the trash thing is lowkey the whole personality and I'm obsessed with it.

bestie, real talk: if you ever need to know where the actual data for a file is physically chilling across your cluster, this is her moment. main character energy, every time. 👑
