💖 sfcbuuid — the glow-up your sfcb needs 💖

okay bestie, real talk: this is sfcbuuid, a script from the General Commands Manual section 1, and its whole entire job is to make a universally unique identifier for your installed Small-Footprint CIM Broker (sfcb). yes. that's the vibe. she's a one-job girlie and she does that job flawlessly. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

sfcbuuid — a script that creates a universally unique identifier for the installed Small-Footprint CIM Broker (sfcb). that's it, that's the whole personality 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sfcbuuid [options]

like. options are optional. she's flexible. she's chill. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — sfcbuuid can be used to create a universally unique identifier (aka a uuid) for sfcb. that uuid gets stored in a file (usually /var/lib/sfcb/uuid, iconic location honestly). and then — and this is the important part — whenever sfcb needs to return its uuid to a requestor, it reads the uuid file from this file. no cap. she just goes and reads it. it's giving reliable. 😌

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -u uuidfile — full path name of the sfcb uuid file. the default is /var/lib/sfcb/uuid. so if you don't say anything, she assumes the classic. 🏠
  • -f — remove an existing uuid file without asking for permission. yeah. no warning. no "are you sure bestie". she just does it. ⚠️ use with the awareness that this is a delete-with-no-takebacks situation.
  • -h — display usage information and exit. the "help me pls" flag. always here for you. 🙈
