💖 swift-container-auditor — the OpenStack Swift container auditor 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to swift-container-auditor(1), straight outta the OpenStack Swift manual (section 1, obviously). this is the lil daemon that keeps ur containers from going feral. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the container auditor is literally the vibe-checker of ur local container system. it crawls around, checking the integrity of container objects, being all nosy and protective. iconic behavior honestly 👑

and if it finds corruption?? (think bit rot, the absolute villain era of storage) — the file gets quarantined 🚫 and then replication swoops in like a main character to replace the bad file from another replica. slay. the system heals itself. periodt.

The options are as follows:

• -v, --verbose — log to console 💬 (she's talkative, let her yap)
• -o, --once — only run one pass of daemon 🏃♀️ (one and done, no loitering)
