💖 redfish-finder(1) — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is the redfish-finder page from the redfish-finder manual, and honestly? it's a tiny little page but it does something very iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

redfish-finder — discover and provide canonical access to local redfish bmc services 🌸

like. it finds your redfish BMC, it gives you a way in, and it makes the name canonical. we love a service with a government name 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

redfish-finder [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it some [options] if you're feeling fancy, and it goes ✨

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea 🍓

redfish-finder automatically discovers redfish based BMC services on a system. not me doing the discovery for you, no cap.

then it does three little things and honestly all three ate:

  1. it discovers the redfish based BMC services on the system 🔍
  2. it configures the appropriate network interface so you can actually reach that service 🔌
  3. it adds a host entry so you can reach the service two ways: via the BMC configured name, and via the canonical name redfish-localhost 👑

the way it sets you up with a canonical name?? main character energy fr fr. redfish-localhost is the name that always shows up. iykyk 😌

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h | --help — display the Usage synopsis and the options description. basically "bestie explain yourself" and it does 💖
  • -s | --shutdown — remove the OS Host and Interface configuration. this is the undo button 🧹 it takes away the host stuff and the interface stuff that got set up.
lowkey important: -s | --shutdown is a removal — it strips out the OS Host and Interface configuration. so if you're like "wait why is my config gone", it's because you asked it to be gone, bestie 😭

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • /etc/hosts — redfish-finder will read and write /etc/hosts to add the redfish-localhost name ⭐
heads up: this one's reading and writing your /etc/hosts. that's a real system file, so like... be normal about it 🙈 it's just there to add the redfish-localhost name, promise.

🔥 Homepage 🔥

the homepage is right here, go be nosy:

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

nope, nothing here! no SEE ALSO section in this one, so this is your little standalone icon 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie, we're done 🎀

okay so the cute little sign-off at the bottom of the original says this is from Linux, dated Aug 2018 — so yeah, this manual page is a lil vintage but it still slays ✨🦋💖 periodt.
