🎀 ls4mkbom — living in the man(1) manual and slaying the BOM-prep game 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the man(1) page for ls4mkbom, and it’s giving “niche Unix tool with main character energy” 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ls4mkbom — print the contents of a directory in the format expected by the mkbom -i option 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ls4mkbom [-u uid] [-g gid] source-directory

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ls4mkbom prints a list of file and folders contained in the directory specified by source-directory. That file can then be used as an input for the mkbom -i option. The -u and -g options can be used to modify the user and group identifiers to be appropriate for Mac OS X. See the tutorial at http://hogliux.github.io/bomutils/tutorial.html 🦋

  • -u — Each file or folder entry listed for a BOM contains the owner’s user and group identifier (e.g. 500/501). Typically, these Linux values are meaningless on the Mac platform. Use the -u option to force the user identifier to a specific value. Typically, this value should be 0 (i.e. root) 👑
  • -g — Similar to the -u option but forces the group identifier to a specific value. Typically this value should be 80 (i.e. admin) 🔥

💀 BUGS 💀

Long paths and some characters in filenames will cause ls4mkbom to fail on Windows. not me finding out the hard way 😭
