💖 swift-account-auditor(1) 💖

okay so bestie, we're looking at swift-account-auditor from OpenStack Swift — the account auditor. she's part of the swift-account-auditor(1) manual, and honestly? she's doing the most important quiet work and nobody claps for her. we're clapping today. 👏

✨ NAME ✨

swift-account-auditor — OpenStack Swift account auditor 🕵️♀️💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

swift-account-auditor [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: the account auditor crawls the local account system, checking the integrity of accounts objects. like, she's going door to door in the account neighborhood making sure everything is actually as it should be. 🚶♀️✨

and if corruption is found — think bit rot, for example 😭 — the file gets quarantined, and then replication will replace the bad file from another replica. so it's not a tragedy, it's a glow-up. the bad file leaves, a good one moves in. periodt. 👑

the options are as follows:

• -v, --verbose — log to console. she will literally narrate her whole life to you. 🗣️
• -o, --once — only run one pass of daemon. one and done, no loops, she has plans. 💅
