💖 mfsgoal(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this one's part of MooseFS, and it's my little corner of the man pages, manual section 1. sit down, get comfy, we're gonna talk goal tools. and then we're gonna talk about how they're gone. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mfsgoal — MooseFS goal management tools. DEPRECATED, use mfssclass tools instead. yeah. i said what i said. 😭

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mfsgetgoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] OBJECT...

mfssetgoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] GOAL[+|-] OBJECT...

mfscopygoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] SOURCE_OBJECT OBJECT...

look at her. beautiful. historic. not actually available anymore, but beautiful. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, i need you to hear this part:

These tools are DEPRECATED and no longer available in MooseFS. periodt. they're not coming back.

the old synopsis up there? that's provided for reference. it's giving museum exhibit. it's giving "look how far we've come". 🎀

so what actually happens now: scripts with the names listed above call the mfssclass tool instead, with OBJECT, GOAL, and SOURCE_OBJECT provided. that's the glow-up. same vibes, new tool.

and one more thing, lowkey important — the + and - signs in mfssetgoal? not supported. 🙈 don't try it. it's not gonna work and i don't want you sad about it.

😤 REPORTING BUGS 😤

found a bug? dramatic. iconic. tell the people:

Report bugs to <bugs@moosefs.com>.

they wanna know. fr fr. 🐛💌

tl;dr — mfsgoal is retired, the synopsis is a keepsake, and mfssclass is your new main character. no + or -, no exceptions. slay responsibly. ✨
