LR_CHECK_SUPERSERVICE(1)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

💅 NAME 💅

ok so lr_check_superservice — this little icon literally maps a Lire service to its Lire superservice. that's it, that's the whole vibe. welcome to LogReport's Lire Documentation bestie 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lr_check_superservice service
lr_check_superservice -l

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ — lr_check_superservice takes a Lire service as its argument, and hands you back the superservice that this service belongs to. like, it's giving "who's your parent friend group" energy, iykyk 💅

and if the service is unknown? no cap, you get a userfriendly errormessage. userfriendly is literally the word here — it's not gonna yell at you, it's gonna tell you nicely 🫶

when you call it with the -l option, this script prints all supported superservices. the whole list. every single one. iconic behavior honestly 👑

ngl, you might prefer the lr_log2report(1) --help options to list available superservices — this command creates a more human-friendly format of the list. so like, both work, but one is prettier ✨

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

call this script in shell scripts as:

LR_SERVICE="$1"

LR_SUPERSERVICE=`lr_check_superservice "$LR_SERVICE" || true`
if test -z "$LR_SUPERSERVICE"
then
   echo >&2 "$tag err lr_check_superservice failed"
   exit 1
fi

# now go using $LR_SUPERSERVICE

like, copy-paste this into your script and you're genuinely good to go 💖 (the || true is doing so much work here, we stan a resilient pipeline 😭)

go read those if you're feeling extra curious, bestie 🌈
