PLAKAR-LS(1)

✨ PLAKAR-LS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to plakar-ls — it's part of the general commands manual and honestly she's a whole vibe 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

plakar-ls — list snapshots and their contents in a Plakar repository 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plakar ls [-uuid] [-recursive] [-tags] [snapshotID:path]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the plakar ls command lists snapshots stored in a Plakar repository, and — plot twist — it can also optionally display the contents of path inside a specified snapshot. like, two jobs, one command, main character energy fr ✨

on top of the flags we're about to get into, plakar ls also supports the location flags documented over in plakar-query(7), so you can precisely select which snapshots you want. iykyk 🫶

the options are as follows, no cap:

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -uuid — shows the full UUID for each snapshot instead of the shorter snapshot ID. full government name vibes 💀
• -recursive — lists directory contents recursively when you're exploring snapshot contents. she goes all the way down 🌀
• -tags — shows tags in the snapshot listing 🏷️

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

the plakar-ls utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. slay when it works, sad little number when it doesn't 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

list all snapshots with their short IDs:

$ plakar ls

list all snapshots with UUIDs instead of short IDs:

$ plakar ls -uuid

list snapshots with a specific tag:

$ plakar ls -tag daily-backup

list contents of a specific snapshot:
