💖 PTS_QUIT(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about pts_quit from the AFS Command Reference — yes it's a real command, no it doesn't do much, and yes we're gonna stan it anyway. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pts_quit — exit from pts interactive mode. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-trick pony and honestly? respect. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pts quit [-cell] <cell name> [-noauth] [-localauth]
    [-force] [-help] [-auth] [-encrypt]
    [-config <config directory>]

pts q [-c] <cell name> [-n] [-l] [-f] [-h]
    [-a] [-e] [-co <config directory>]

see how the short version is just the long version in a little going-out outfit? q is quit's lowercase alter ego. slay. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the pts quit command exits from pts interactive mode. you can run it from the command line or interactively, BUT — and this is important, bestie — on the command line it does nothing and is therefore of questionable utility. like, it's giving "shows up to the party just to leave." 😭

💀 CAUTIONS 💀

ngl, there's some lore here. prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts quit command was only available on Unix or Linux, and only when OpenAFS was compiled with the supergroups option (which is disabled by default, btw 🙈). as of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available. glow-up confirmed. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

so here's the tea: although they have no effect, pts quit takes the following standard pts options. she accepts them like compliments she doesn't know what to do with. 🫶

  • -auth — use the calling user's tokens to communicate with the Protection Server. for more details, see pts(1). (yes she still asks, even though she's leaving. iconic.)
  • -cell <cell name> — names the cell in which to run the command. for more details, see pts(1).
  • -config <config directory> — use an alternate config directory. for more details, see pts(1).
  • -encrypt — encrypts any communication with the Protection Server. for more details, see pts(1).
  • -force — enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error.
  • -help — prints the online help for this command. all other valid options are ignored. she said "i'm reading, don't talk to me." 📖
  • -localauth — constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. for more details, see pts(1).
  • -noauth — assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. for more details, see pts(1).
bestie reminder 🚨: -localauth and -cell / -noauth are NOT friends. keep them apart. no cap.

🍓 OUTPUT 🍓

this command produces no output. silence. the ultimate power move. 💖

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

here's an example of a pts interactive session, living her best life:

% pts interactive
pts> quit
%

look at that. clean. effortless. she walked in, said quit, and bounced. main character energy fr fr. ✨
