✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🎀 NAME:

NVIDIA CDI Hook — the command that structures files so they can live their best life inside a container. It gets called as a hook from a container runtime, and it's defined in a CDI yaml file. That's the whole job. Main character energy fr fr. 🦋

🫶 USAGE:

NVIDIA CDI Hook [global options] [command [command options]]

⭐ VERSION:

1.19.1

👑 COMMANDS:

• update-ldcache — updates the ldcache inside a container by running ldconfig. keeping the cache cute and current, no cap. 🔥
• create-symlinks — a hook that creates symlinks in the container. it's giving matchmaker, but for paths. 🔗
• chmod — sets the permissions of folders in the container by running chmod. heads up though: the container root is prefixed to the specified paths, so don't be out here thinking your path is your path, it's the container's path bestie. 🌈
• enable-cuda-compat — this hook makes sure the folder holding the CUDA compat libraries gets added to the ldconfig search path if required. conditional queen. 👑
• disable-device-node-modification — ensures that the /proc/driver/nvidia/params file that's present in the container does not allow device node modifications. protective. firm. mother is mothering. 🛡️
• help, h — shows you a list of commands, or help for one single command. your emotional support flag honestly. 🥺

💜 GLOBAL OPTIONS:

• --debug, -d — turns on debug-level logging. spill the tea, log everything bestie. [$NVIDIA_CTK_DEBUG, $NVIDIA_CDI_DEBUG] 🔍
• --quiet — suppresses all output except for errors, and it overrides --debug. so if you set both, quiet wins, that's just the rules. [$NVIDIA_CTK_QUIET, $NVIDIA_CDI_QUIET] 🤫
• --help, -h — show help. classic, always there for you. 🫶
• --version, -v — print the version. say it with your chest. ⭐

lowkey reminder bestie: --quiet beats --debug, and chmod is prefixing the container root onto your paths. not me letting you find that out the hard way 😭
