✨ swift-container-info(1) ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair 💖 this is the swift-container-info page from the OpenStack Swift manual, and we're gonna make it make sense.

🎀 NAME 🎀

swift-container-info — the OpenStack Swift container-info tool, aka your little backstage pass to what's actually going on inside a container 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

swift-container-info <container_db_file> [options]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically? this is a very simple swift tool. like, it's not doing the most, it's just doing the thing. it lets a swiftop engineer go grab info about a container that lives on the storage node 👑

here's the vibe: you call the tool and hand it a container db file, exactly as it sits on the storage node's filesystem. that's it. that's the whole ask. then it hands you back a whole lil pile of info about that container, and that pile includes:

• the Account it belongs to
• the Container
• Created timestamp
• Put timestamp
• Delete timestamp
• Object count
• Bytes used
• Reported put timestamp
• Reported delete timestamp
• Reported object count
• Reported bytes used
• Hash
• ID
• User metadata
• X-Container-Sync-Point 1
• X-Container-Sync-Point 2
• Location on the ring

no cap, that's the whole roster. every single one of them shows up. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — shows the help message and then dips out (exit). 🫶
• -d SWIFT_DIR, --swift-dir=SWIFT_DIR — pass the location of the swift config file, but only if it's somewhere other than the default location, which is /etc/swift. 🌸
