✨ PVFS2-VIEWDIST ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual, section 1, where we talk about pvfs2-viewdist 💅 she's the one who spills the tea on where your file's data actually lives.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pvfs2-viewdist — display file layout 👀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pvfs2-viewdist [-v] -f file name

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The pvfs2-viewdist command displays the layout of a particular file. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she shows you how the file is laid out, no cap ✨

The options are as follows:

• -v — print the version number and exit. short king behaviour, love that for us 🎀
• -f — specify the file to operate on. you literally cannot skip this one bestie, she needs to know which file 🫶

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• PVFS2_DEBUGFILE — if you set this to the path of a local file, the debug output gets redirected there instead of wherever it was going. very demure, very mindful, keeping your terminal clean 💜
• PVFS2_DEBUGMASK — sets the OrangeFS debug mask. the possible masks are documented over in pvfs2-set-debugmask(1), so go read that if you wanna know your options fr fr
• PVFS2TAB_FILE — if set, this is the full pathname for an alternate pvfs2tab file. like, a whole other tab file, your choice 👑

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /etc/pvfs2tab

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Display layout of /mnt/foo:

pvfs2-viewdist -f /mnt/foo

and boom, layout revealed. iconic 🔥
