🎀 OC(1) 🎀

okay so welcome to the OC(1) page bestie 💖 — this is the oc whoami corner of the Openshift CLI User Manuals, and it's dated June 2016, which is like, vintage but iconic. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

oc whoami — return information about the current session, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

oc whoami [OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Show information about the current session. that's the whole vibe 🫶

the default options for this command will return the currently authenticated user name — or an empty string, which is giving "nobody's home" energy 😭. the other flags support returning the currently used token or the user context, so you can peek under the hood if you're nosy (we love that for you) 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --show-console=false — if true, print the current server's web console URL 🌈
  • -c, --show-context=false — print the current user context name 💫
  • --show-server=false — if true, print the current server's REST API URL 🔥
  • -t, --show-token=false — print the token the current session is using. heads up bestie: this will return an error if you are using a different form of authentication 💀 (not me finding out the hard way)

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these are the hand-me-downs from the parent commands, and honestly they ate 👑

  • --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. user could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace 🎭
  • --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups 🫂
  • --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation 🆔
  • --as-user-extra=[] — user extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key 🔁
  • --cache-dir="/homeless-shelter/.kube/cache" — default cache directory 📦
  • --certificate-authority="" — path to a cert file for the certificate authority 📜
  • --client-certificate="" — path to a client certificate file for TLS 🔐
  • --client-key="" — path to a client key file for TLS 🗝️
  • --cluster="" — the name of the kubeconfig cluster to use ☁️
  • --context="" — the name of the kubeconfig context to use 🧭
  • --disable-compression=false — if true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server 🗜️
  • --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — if true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. this will make your HTTPS connections insecure ⚠️ (like, actually — don't do this casually)
  • --kubeconfig="" — path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests 🗂️
  • --kuberc="" — path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. this can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off 🔧

  • -n, --namespace="" — if present, the namespace scope for this CLI request 🏷️

  • --profile-output="profile.pprof" — name of the file to write the profile to 📝
  • --request-timeout="0" — the length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). a value of zero means don't timeout requests ⏳
  • -s, --server="" — the address and port of the Kubernetes API server 🌐
  • --tls-server-name="" — server name to use for server certificate validation. if it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used 🏠
  • --token="" — bearer token for authentication to the API server 🎟️
