LXC.AUTH(1)

📦 version 5.21.6, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 lxc-auth — like, the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, real talk: you're reading the LXD - Command line client(1) manual, and this one's all about lxc auth. 🎀 Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-auth — manage user authorization 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc auth [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Manage user authorization 💖

(that's it. that's the whole description. she's short, she's mysterious, she's an icon. the subcommands do the actual heavy lifting, iykyk ✨)

💅 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💅

these bad boys aren't even hers — she borrowed them from the parent command, and honestly? they ate. 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages, like every single one, no filter, main character energy 🔥
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket, no cap 🧚
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help, the classic, the beloved 💖
  • --project="" — override the source project. the original has a little stray double-backtick after it (fr fr, it's Override the source project`` ) and we're keeping it exactly as-is because we don't touch the lore 🫶
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information, we're keeping it lowkey 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands, very demure, very mindful 🌸
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages, she's chatty and we love her 💬
  • --version[=false] — print version number, know your roots ⭐
okay but for real, the [=false] bits mean those flags default to false, and --project defaults to the empty string "". facts are facts 💜
