🗑️ LIZARDFS-GETTRASHTI ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the lizardfs-gettrashtime corner of the manual 💖 this is where we talk about trash time — no, not your ex, the actual number of seconds a file hangs out in the special trash directory. the family is: lizardfs-gettrashtime, lizardfs-settrashtime, lizardfs-rgettrashtime, lizardfs-rsettrashtime. one manual, four icons 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

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

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

lizardfs rsettrashtime [-n|-h|-H] SECONDS[+|-] OBJECT...

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so gettrashtime and settrashtime are the two mains, and they work on an object's trashtime value. what even is that? it's literally the number of seconds the file is preserved in the special trash directory before it's finally removed from the filesystem. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

trashtime must be a non-negative integer value, no cap. and gettrashtime just prints the current trashtime value of whatever object(s) you handed it. that's the tea 🍵

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -r — turns on recursive mode 🌀 it 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 you get the whole family tree, not just the root. obsessed.
• N[+|-] — the flavor of your new value, bestie:
  • if the new value is specified in N+ form, the trashtime value is increased to N for objects with lower trashtime value, and unchanged for the rest.
  • similarly, if the new value is specified as N-, the trashtime value is decreased to N for objects with higher trashtime value, and unchanged for the rest.

these tools can be used on any file, directory or deleted (trash) file. yes, even the ones already in the bin 🗑️ periodt.

• -n, -h, -H — these options are described in lizardfs(1). go read that one, iykyk 📖

🫶 NOTE 🫶

rgettrashtime and rsettrashtime are deprecated aliases for gettrashtime -r and settrashtime -r respectively. they still work but like… the glow-up already happened, use the new ones 💀
