nethsm-info(1)

💅 nethsm-info — bestie's guide to the nethsm info command ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally called nethsm-info(1). it's the manpage for the nethsm info command, and i'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nethsm info [-a|--auth-passphrase-file] [-c|--config] [-l|--label]
[-u|--user] [-h|--help]

that's the whole vibe. flags in, info out. slay 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the "nethsm info" command... that's it. that's the description the manpage gives us. iconic minimalism honestly, the manpage said "no notes" and left. 😭 literally main character energy — it shows up, says its name, and dips.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

ngl bestie, read these carefully. some of them are required in certain setups and the manpage is very clear about exactly when 👑

• -a, --auth-passphrase-file <AUTH_PASSPHRASE_FILE> — the path to a file containing a passphrase for authentication.
  • the passphrase in that file must be the one for the user you picked for the command. no mixing and matching, fr fr.
  • this option can be provided multiple times, which you need for commands that require multiple roles at once. with multiple passphrase files, ordering matters — the files get assigned to the respective user provided by the --user option. so like, keep them in the right order or it's giving chaos 💀
  • can also be specified with the NETHSM_AUTH_PASSPHRASE_FILE environment variable.
• -c, --config <CONFIG> — the path to a custom configuration file.
  • if you specify it, that custom configuration file is used instead of the default configuration file location.
  • can also be specified with the NETHSM_CONFIG environment variable.
• -l, --label <LABEL> — a label uniquely identifying a device in the configuration file.
  • must be provided if more than one device is set up in the configuration file.
  • can also be specified with the NETHSM_LABEL environment variable.
• -u, --user <USER> — a user name which is used for a command.
  • can be provided if no user name is set up in the configuration file for a device.
  • must be provided if several user names of the same target role are set up in the configuration file for a device.
  • this option can be provided multiple times, which is needed for commands that require multiple roles at once.
  • can also be specified with the NETHSM_USER environment variable.
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h').

quick vibe check 🧚: --help gives you the full help, but if you want the short version, '-h' is right there. yes, the manpage quotes it with single quotes. we respect the punctuation.

🦋 a lil sign-off 🦋
