S6-LINKNAME(1)

📦 version 2.3.1.2, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is s6-linkname(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's here to give the content of a symbolic link or resolve a path. lowkey a tiny utility with main character energy. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s6-linkname [-f] [-n] path

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Here's the vibe check: if path is a symbolic link, s6-linkname prints its content then exits 0. That's the whole moment. 💅

Otherwise? It prints an error message and exits 111. not a slay, but forewarned is forearmed, y'know? 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -f — makes s6-linkname fully resolve path then print the result on stdout. and good news: path does not have to be a symbolic link for this one. flexible icon behavior, honestly. ✨
  • -n — do not print a newline after the result. for when you want your output to stay cozy on the same line. 🫶

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • 111 — Temporary error. annoying, but maybe not forever.
  • 100 — Permanent error, such as a misuse. bestie, check the vibes and the usage. 💀
  • 127 — Unable to execute program - not found. it's giving “who? never met her.” 🙈
  • 126 — Unable to execute program - other reason. not-found's mysterious cousin.
