SAUNAFS-GETGOAL(1)

📦 version 5.1.2, in ubuntu resolute

💖 SAUNAFS-GETGOAL(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the saunafs-getgoal manual page — yes that's the official name of this whole vibe, and yes we're doing all four tools in one glow-up: saunafs-getgoal, saunafs-setgoal, saunafs-rgetgoal and saunafs-rsetgoal. their whole thing? changing or retrieving a goal. that's it. that's the job. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

saunafs-getgoal, saunafs-setgoal, saunafs-rgetgoal, saunafs-rsetgoal — change or retrieve goal

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

saunafs getgoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H] OBJECT...

saunafs rgetgoal [-n|-h|-H] OBJECT...

saunafs setgoal [-r] [-n|-h|-H] GOAL_NAME OBJECT...

saunafs rsetgoal [-n|-h|-H] GOAL_NAME OBJECT...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so getgoal and setgoal are the two main characters here, and they operate on an object's goal value. periodt.

getgoal prints the current goal value of whatever object(s) you hand it. and like, the range?? immaculate — these tools can be used on any file, directory, or deleted (trash) file. yeah, even the ones you thought were gone. iconic behaviour tbh. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -r — enables recursive mode. it works as usual for every given file, but for every given directory it additionally prints the current value of all contained objects (files and directories). it's giving "and what about her friends". 💖
  • -n, -h, -H — these options are described in saunafs(1). go read the main page bestie, they're all there.
  • -l — this option disables the timeout set for setgoal. (the default timeout is 30 seconds, fyi)
⚠️ heads up: this behavior will be the default and the option removed starting from 5.0.0. if you wish to have timeouts, use the timeout command instead. no cap, plan accordingly. 💀

📌 NOTE 📌

rgetgoal and rsetgoal are deprecated aliases for getgoal -r and setgoal -r respectively. they will be removed in 5.0.0. so like… love them while you can, but don't get attached. 🙈
