parrot_lsalloc(1)

💖 parrot_lsalloc — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick: this is parrot_lsalloc(1), section 1 of the manual, and it's about to tell you how much space you've got in a Parrot allocation. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

parrot_lsalloc — list current status of a space allocation

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

parrot_lsalloc [path]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: parrot_lsalloc peeks at a directory you hand it, figures out whether that directory lives inside a space allocation, and then spills the tea on the allocation size and how much of it is currently being used. literally that's it, that's the whole job 💅

and like — as the name is giving, this command only runs correctly inside of the Parrot virtual file system, on file servers where space allocation is enabled. so if you're out here trying to run it somewhere else, that's not it, bestie. no cap.

the path argument is the directory you want examined. if you don't give one? the current directory is assumed. easy ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h — show help text. that's the whole menu, she's lowkey minimalist 🙈

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

on success, returns zero. slay. 🎉

on failure, returns non-zero. 😭

and if you attempt this on a filesystem that does not support space allocation, you get this absolute jumpscare of an error:

parrot_lsalloc: This filesystem does not support allocations.

not me getting this error and having to sit with it 🫠

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

want to list a space allocation on a Chirp server? say less, here's the whole run:

% parrot_run bash
% cd /chirp/myserver.somewhere.edu
% parrot_lsalloc bigdir
/chirp/myserver.somewhere.edu/bigdir
10 GB TOTAL
1 GB INUSE
9 GB AVAIL
% exit

look at those numbers. 10 GB TOTAL, 1 GB INUSE, 9 GB AVAIL. the math is mathing, the allocation is allocated, we love to see it 👑
