okay bestie, welcome to the OpenStack Swift glow-up of the classic man page — it's swift-object-info, and she's here to spill all the tea about your objects ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

swift-object-info — the OpenStack Swift object-info tool, aka your backstage pass to everything an object is hiding 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

swift-object-info <object_file> [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically? this is a very simple swift tool — like, uncomplicated, low-maintenance, no drama — and it lets a swiftop engineer pull up all the info about an object that's chilling on the storage node. 💅

you call the tool with a given object file, exactly as it's stored on the storage node system, and she will then hand you back several pieces of info about that object, such as:

• the Account it belongs to
• the Container
• the Object hash
• the Content Type
• the timestamp
• the Etag
• the Content Length
• the User Metadata
• the Location on the ring

like… she's giving full dossier. no cap. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h --help — shows the help message and dips out (exits) 🫡
• -n, --no-check-etag — do NOT verify the file contents against the stored etag. skipping the vibe check, basically 💀
• -d SWIFT_DIR, --swift-dir=SWIFT_DIR — pass the location of the swift configuration file if it lives somewhere other than the default location /etc/swift 🗺️
• -P POLICY_NAME, --policy-name=POLICY_NAME — specify the storage policy name 🧚
