LXC.PAUSE(1)

💅 LXC-PAUSE(1) — the one where we pause instances

okay so real talk, bestie: this whole page lives in the LXD - Command line client manual (section 1 ofc), and it's short, sweet, and honestly kind of iconic in its minimalism. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-pause — pauses instances. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc pause [<remote>:]<instance> [[<remote>:]<instance>...] [flags]

okay heads up 🚨 the original synopsis is written all shorthand-style, but the deal is: you give it instances, each optionally prefixed with a <remote>: before the colon, and then flags on the end. the brackets mean those bits are optional, not that you should skip them and hope for the best 😭

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Description: pause instances. yes, that is literally what the description section says. it's giving "said what she said" 👑 short, confident, zero filler. if you came here expecting lore, the lore is: it pauses instances.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --all[=false] — run against all instances. every single one. the whole group chat. defaults to false, so it only does this if you ask it to nicely 💅

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these are the flags you didn't ask for but got anyway, because the parent command said "you're coming with me" 🎀

• --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. all of them. the firehose of information. defaults to false. 🔥
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. like, force force. defaults to false.
• -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the icon.
• --project="" — override the source project. default is the empty string "".
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. for when you simply cannot with the progress bar rn 🙈 defaults to false.
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. defaults to false.
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the chatterbox setting. defaults to false. ✨
• --version[=false] — print version number. defaults to false.

ngl bestie, notice how every single one of these defaults to false or ""? that's the vibe check: nothing here turns itself on. you gotta opt in, periodt. 💖
