✨ NAME ✨

lizardfs-getgoal, lizardfs-setgoal, lizardfs-rgetgoal, lizardfs-rsetgoal — change or retrieve goal 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lizardfs getgoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H] OBJECT...

lizardfs rgetgoal [-n|-h|-H] OBJECT...

lizardfs setgoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H] GOAL_NAME OBJECT...

lizardfs rsetgoal [-n|-h|-H] GOAL_NAME OBJECT...

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So getgoal and setgoal are the two main characters here, and they operate on an object's goal value. Periodt.

getgoal prints the current goal value of whatever object(s) you hand it. And the range?? immaculate. These tools can be used on any file, any directory, or even a deleted (trash) file. Like she does not discriminate, she'll read the goal off a file that's already in the bin. Iconic honestly. 🗑️✨

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -r — turns on recursive mode. It works like normal recursion for every file you give it, but for every directory you give it, it additionally prints the current value of all the objects contained inside (files AND directories). It's giving "and I brought receipts for the whole folder". 🫶
• -n, -h, -H — these ones live over in lizardfs(1), go check her out for the deets. 👑

---

📌 NOTE 📌

Bestie, heads up: rgetgoal and rsetgoal are deprecated aliases for getgoal -r and setgoal -r respectively. Same energy, just, y'know, the old way of saying it. 😭
