💅 NFS-LS(1) — the nfs-ls manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to nfs-ls, a lil utility from the nfs-ls: list servers, exports manual page. she's giving ✨inventory of your NFS situation✨ and honestly? obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfs-ls — the utility that lists NFS servers, exports and directories. that's the whole job. she lists things. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nfs-ls [ OPTIONS ] <NFS-URL>

nfs-ls [-R --recursive] [-s --summary] [-D --discovery] [-? --help]
       [--usage]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

nfs-ls is a utility to list NFS servers, exports or directories. that's it, that's the vibe check. three levels of listing, zero drama.

Example: List the content of a directory on the NFS server

$ nfs-ls nfs://127.0.0.1/data/tmp
-rwxrwxr-x  1  1000  1000      1190802 a.out
-rwxr-xr-x  1  1000  1000           13 foo123.copy
-rwxrwxrwx  1  1000  1000            8 foo123.writtenx

look at those permissions go 😭 she ate and left absolutely no crumbs.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -s, --summary — drops a little summary line at the very end of the output. a goodbye note. a mic drop. 🎤
• -R, --recursive — recursive listing of the URL you specified. she goes deep. she goes all the way down the directory tree. no folder left un-listed, periodt. 🌈
• -D, --discovery; — okay so yes, the semicolon is literally in the original manpage and i am NOT touching it, that's her little quirk, we stan 🙈. this option is the one you use to discover local NFS servers and to list the exports for specific servers.
  • when you use it with the nfs:// URL, the command will try to detect all local NFS servers and will list their IPs. it's giving detective energy 🔍
  • when you use it with a nfs://server, the command will list all the exports on the specified server.

Example: Discover and list all local NFS servers

$ nfs-ls -D nfs://
nfs://10.10.10.10
nfs://10.0.0.10

Example: List the exports for a server

$ nfs-ls -D nfs://10.10.10.10
nfs://10.10.10.10/foo
nfs://10.10.10.10/bar

see how the IPs just show up? main character behavior fr fr 💅

• -?, --help — displays the basic help text. when you're lost in the sauce, she's your map. 🫶
• --usage — displays the basic usage text. the short version. the tl;dr. the "just tell me how to type it" version. ⭐
