✨ psd-overlay-helper(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the psd-overlay-helper manual page πŸ’… yes that's the manual section 1 situation, we're in the big leagues now.


🌸 NAME 🌸

psd-overlay-helper β€” literally just a script that uses the overlay file system for profile-sync-daemon. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so. Profile-sync-daemon (aka psd, iykyk) is this tiny pseudo-daemon whose entire main character energy is managing your browser profile β€” or profiles, plural, she contains multitudes β€” inside tmpfs, and then periodically syncing everything back to your actual physical disc (that's your HDD or SSD, no cap). πŸ¦‹

how does she do it? an innovative use of rsync, bestie. it keeps the synchronization going between the tmpfs copy and the media-bound backup of your browser profile/profiles. it's giving ✨organized✨.

and as if that wasn't enough, psd also comes with several crash recovery features. because we plan for the chaos. πŸ’€

now, the actual star of this page: the psd-overlay-helper script. it's used internally to enable the usage of the overlay file system.

🚨 okay important: it should not be called by the user directly. like, don't. it's not for you. it's backstage. leave her alone. πŸ™ˆ
