SFCBINST2MOF(1)

💖 SFCBINST2MOF 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the sfcbinstr2mof... wait no, sfcbinstr2mof? no. it's sfcbinstr2mof— no babes, it's literally sfcbinstr2mof. ugh, let me start over. it's sfcbinstr2mof ✨

it's sfcbinstr2mof. periodt. and it's a General Commands Manual entry (section 1, iykyk), and honestly? she's giving dump static instances to mof energy and we're obsessed 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

sfcbinstr2mof — dump static instances to mof

no cap, that's the whole job. she takes your static instances and dumps them into mof. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sfcbinstr2mof <options> [-n namespace] [-c classname]

✨ OPTIONS ✨

allowed options are (and yes, you need to actually read this part, bestie):

• -h — display this message. it's giving "help me help you" 🫶
• -v — verbose: print some extra processing information to stdout. she's a talker. let her yap 🗣️
• -V — print version information. the classic "who even are you" move 👑
• -n <namespace> — [REQUIRED] no skips, no excuses, you NEED this one. it's not optional, it's the main character 🎀
• -c <classname> — [REQUIRED] the actual class name instrumented — not a parent class. read that again. the ACTUAL one. not the parent. don't be messy 💀
• -g <sfcb cfg file> — (default=/etc/sfcb/sfcb.cfg). point her at a different config if you're feeling spicy 🌈
• -o <output file> — full path to the output file. the path must exist, and you must have write rights. (default = stdout). so like, don't just vibe into a folder that isn't there, she WILL be upset 😭
• -t — truncate the output file before writing to it (default = append). so default behaviour is appending, and this flag says "actually, wipe it first". choose wisely bestie 🍓
• -m — output instances that were created in MOF, in addition to instances created interactively. so like, the MOF ones get to come to the party too 🎉
• -M — output ONLY instances that were created in MOF (don't include instances created interactively). strict. exclusive. guest list energy. she said "interactive who?" 💅
• -r <repository dir> — use an alternate repository (this overrides the sfcb cfg file). (default = /var/lib/sfcb/registration/repository). go somewhere else, we don't gatekeep 🧚

lowkey reminder: -n and -c are both REQUIRED, and -m and -M are doing two very different things, so don't mix them up or you'll get a whole different output and be confused. fr fr 💜

and that's the whole vibe check, bestie. this page is from sfcb Version 1.3.16, dated June 2013, filed under SFCBINST2MOF(1) in the General Commands Manual. slay, go dump some instances 💖✨🎀
