🦋 MOGLISTFIDS 🦋 — section 1 of the manual, bestie, come get your data

okay so literally nobody asked but here we are, and honestly? iconic. This is moglistfids(1), a little utility that goes brrr through your MogileFS setup and hands you every fid/key it can find. Let's get into it. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

moglistfids — iterate fid/key data from a MogileFS installation

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what we're doing here is: this is an example utility for pulling all the file data out of a MogileFS installation. Not one file. Not two. All of it. 🫶

And the way that this is genuinely such a serve is that utilities like this one can be built on — like, think bigger:

  • creating backup systems 🎀
  • Mogile<->Mogile syncronization systems
  • Mogile->S3 syncronization

(and yes, the manpage says "syncronization" with that spelling, we do not correct the elders, we simply appreciate them 🌈)

🚨 okay bestie this is the part you NEED to hear: this method is only a way of pulling new files which have existed since the last time it was checked. That's it. That's the whole deal. Because there's no logging of deleted files. So if something got yeeted? This won't tell you. Know that going in. 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Here's your whole little toolkit, no skips, no cuts:

  • --trackers=host1:7001,host2:7001 — use these MogileFS trackers to negotiate with. Yes, that's a comma-separated list of host:port pairs, give it your trackers and let them do the talking ✨
  • --fromfid=<fid> — the highest numbered fid fetched the last time this utility was run. Basically your lil bookmark from last time so you're not re-scrolling the whole timeline 🙈
  • --count=<count> — Numer of fids to inspect and return.
😭 not me noticing the --count description literally says "Numer" in the source. We keep it verbatim, we honor the typo, it's part of the lore now. iykyk.
