OSTREE-SHOW(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is ostree show, also known as OSTREE SHOW(1) — and the name line is ostree-show — Output a metadata object. periodt. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole call is:

ostree show [OPTIONS...] {OBJECT}

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Given an OBJECT, it shows the metadata for that object. If you're looking at a particular revision, it will show the data for the most recent commit to that revision. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay bestie, options time — every single one, no skipping:

• --print-related — shows the "related" commits. yes, with the quotes, iykyk.
• --print-variant-type="TYPE" — memory-maps OBJECT (in this case a filename) to the GVariant type string. 🧚
• --list-metadata-keys — lists the available metadata keys.
• --print-metadata-key="KEY" — prints the string value of metadata key KEY.
• --list-detached-metadata-keys — lists the available detached metadata keys.
• --print-detached-metadata-key="KEY" — prints the string value of detached metadata key KEY.
• --print-sizes — shows the commit size metadata. this is only supported for commits that contain ostree.sizes metadata, and it can be included when creating commits with ostree commit --generate-sizes.
• --raw — shows raw variant data.
• --gpg-homedir="HOMEDIR" — the GPG home directory to use when looking for keyrings (if built with GPGME - GNU Privacy Guard Made Easy). 🔥

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

like this, bestie:

source/version vibe check: OSTree / OSTREE SHOW(1). the footer doesn't give a date, so we're not inventing one — the only date on the page is the example's 2014-06-12 13:42:54 +0000, and that's the date we're claiming. mwah 💋✨
