✨ LXC.CONFIG.GET(1) — bestie edition ✨

okay so real quick, before we even start: this is the man page for lxc-config-get, and it lives under the whole LXD - Command line client(1) umbrella 💅 like, that's the family it belongs to. Anyway. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

lxc-config-get — grab the values for instance or server configuration keys 🫶

Like, you point at a key and it hands you the value. That's the whole gig. Slay.

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

lxc config get [:][]  [flags]

not me showing you the synopsis with those little empty brackets 😭 that's literally how it's written in the source, I'm not gaslighting you — the square brackets are just sitting there with nothing inside. anyway, that's the shape of the command, and [flags] means the options below are up for grabs ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description: get values for instance or server configuration keys 💖

fr fr that's it. you want to know what a config key is set to? this is the little icon that does it. no cap.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

the good stuff. the main character options. let's go 🌈

  • -e, --expanded[=false] — access the expanded configuration 👀 (default is false, so you have to actually ask for it)
  • -p, --property[=false] — get the key as an instance property instead 💅 (also defaults to false)
  • --target="" — the cluster member name 🧚 defaults to "", so like, no member picked unless you say so
lowkey the little backticks in the source for --target are a whole formatting moment, but the info is exactly this: cluster member name, default empty string 🫶

🍓 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🍓

these aren't even hers, she's just borrowing them from the parent command and honestly? iconic 🌟

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages 🔥 (default false)
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 🔌 (default false)
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help 😌 (default false)
  • --project="" — override the source project 🎀 default is "", so it's empty until you fill it in
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information 🤫 (default false)
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🧭 (default false)
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages 📣 (default false)
  • --version[=false] — print version number 🏷️ (default false)
also yes, --project has the same little backtick artifact situation going on in the source. the fact is: it overrides the source project, default "". we move 💜
