💖 sfo(1) — bestie's guide to the Simple Fuzzer Oracle 💖

okay so hi. welcome to the sfo(1) manual page, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and yes I am about to make process monitoring sound like the most slay thing you've ever read. because it kind of is?? stay with me.

✨ NAME ✨

sfo — Simple Fuzzer Oracle (process monitoring)

like. the name literally tells you what it is. an oracle. for fuzzers. she watches processes. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sfo PROGRAM [ARGS]...

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. you give her a PROGRAM and then [ARGS]... — as many extra arguments as your little heart desires — and she goes to work. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so sfo is a simple process monitor with some reporting capability, which is the manual's cute way of saying: she will straight up tell you when the program under test has failed. 💀

and she doesn't just yell "it broke" and dip. nope. she also does some basic logging to record the failure type, so you actually know what kind of chaos just went down. receipts. she keeps them. periodt. 🎀

✨ USAGE ✨

here's the vibe:

  • sfo runs an application specified on its command line — that's your PROGRAM.
  • it takes optional arguments too — that's your [ARGS]....
  • and then it will report the application's subsequent behavior if it crashes.

so like. you hand her a program, she runs it, and if it faceplants, she reports on it. a whole bestie behavior fr fr. 🌸

✨ NOTES ✨

real talk, no sugarcoating: sfo is not currently complete. it is provided as a preview. so treat her like a work-in-progress queen, not a finished final-form icon. 🙈
