💅 LXC.FILE.PULL(1) — the lxc file pull glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to LXC.FILE.PULL(1), part of the LXD - Command line client(1) family. This is the page for lxc-file-pull, and it's literally your little shortcut for grabbing files off an instance. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-file-pull — pull files from instances 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc file pull [:]/ [[:]/...]  [flags]

that's it, that's the vibe ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Description:

Pull files from instances. no cap, that's the whole job — you point it at stuff inside an instance, and it comes back out to you 💅

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -p, --create-dirs[=false] — create any directories necessary, so the destination can actually exist before the file lands. it's giving prepared ✨
  • -r, --recursive[=false] — recursively transfer files. yes bestie, the whole tree, not just one leaf 🌈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones come from the parent command, so they're not unique to file pull, but they're still iconic:

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. when you need the entire lore 💀
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 🔥
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic "what does anything mean" button 🙈
  • --project="" — override the source project. main character energy for a different project ✨
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silent, mysterious, lowkey 🎀
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. tell me everything 🍓
  • --version[=false] — print version number. know your era ⭐

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

  lxc file pull foo/etc/hosts .

To pull /etc/hosts from the instance and write it to the current directory. so the instance is foo, the file is /etc/hosts, and the . is "bestie, put it right here" 🫶
