SETSTATE(1)

👑 The setstate program 👑

Hiii bestie, welcome to the manual for setstate — aka The setstate program — and it’s giving tiny-but-fierce. 💅 It changes its process state according to options and certain environment variables, then runs the given command. Periodt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

setstate -options command [arg ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

setstate changes its process state according to options and certain environment variables, and runs the given command. No cap. 🫶

⚠️ WARNING: options must be a single argument. Like, one argument, bestie — do not split it up. The leading - is not required. 💀

The options are listed below, and they are obeyed in this order — top to bottom, fr fr. ⭐

💖 OPTIONS (in the exact order they’re obeyed) 💖

• r — chdir and chroot to $ROOT.
• l — become a process group leader (new in version 2001.06.08).
• L — become a non-process group leader (new in version 2001.06.08).
• s — become a session leader (new in version 2001.06.08).
• f — set the foreground process group of fd 0 to this process’s group (new in version 2001.06.08).
• o — fchown fd 0 to $UID (new in version 2001.06.08).
• g — setgid to $GID.
• G — setgroups to $GROUPS, a list of group IDs with each preceded by a space (including the first).
• u — setuid to $UID.
• h — chdir to $HOME.

🚨 It is an error if an option is specified and any of the environment variables it uses is not set. So if the env var is missing, that option is a no-go. 💀

That’s the whole page, bestie — from the The setstate program manual. There’s no version or date stamp on this copy, so we’re not inventing one. 🫶💖
