💅 SAUNAFS-GETTRASHTIM — get or set trash time

okay bestie, welcome to the saunafs-gettrashtime page ✨ this is the manual for four little commands that all hang out together: saunafs-gettrashtime, saunafs-settrashtime, saunafs-rgettrashtime, and saunafs-rsettrashtime. yes the manual name is a whole mouthful, we know. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

saunafs settrashtime [-r] [-n|-h|-H] SECONDS[+|-] OBJECT...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gettrashtime and settrashtime are obsessed with one single thing: an object's trashtime value. and what is trashtime, you ask? it's literally the number of seconds a file gets preserved in the special trash directory before it's finally removed from the filesystem. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🗑️✨

trashtime has to be a non-negative integer value, no cap.

and gettrashtime? it just prints the current trashtime value of the object(s) you hand it. simple, iconic, does what it says. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -r — this turns on recursive mode, which works like you'd expect for every file you give it, but for every directory you give it, it additionally prints the current trashtime value of every object contained inside (files and directories, the whole little family 🌸).
  • N[+|-] — okay this one is lowkey the main character. if you write the new value in the N+ form, the trashtime value gets increased to N for objects whose trashtime is lower, and left unchanged for the rest. similarly, if you write the new value as N-, the trashtime value gets decreased to N for objects with a higher trashtime value and left unchanged for the rest. and yes bestie, these tools can be used on any file, directory or deleted (trash) file. slay. 🫶
  • -n, -h, -H — these options are described in saunafs(1). go check that one out, iykyk 📖
  • -l — this option disables the timeout set for setgoal. (the default timeout is 30 seconds, just so you know ⏱️)
heads up: this behavior will be the default and the option removed starting from 5.0.0. if you want timeouts, use the timeout command instead. not me warning you about the future 🔮

💀 NOTE 💀

rgettrashtime and -rsettrashtime are deprecated aliases for rgettrashtime -r and rsettrashtime -r respectively. they will be removed in 5.0.0. so like… enjoy them while they last, bestie 😭
