💅 SYD-FS(1) — the filesystem-type printer, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is syd-fs, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section 1, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty". 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

syd-fs — prints the filesystem type of the file you hand it, or of the current working directory if you hand it nothing. that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

syd-fs [file]

literally just syd-fs, optionally with a file. no drama, no twelve flags, just vibes and a path. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the syd-fs utility prints the filesystem type of the given file — or, if you don't give it one, of the current working directory. main character behaviour fr fr. 👑

that's the entire personality. it tells you what kind of filesystem you're standing on. iconic. ✨

🔥 SECURITY 🔥

okay this is the part where you pay attention bestie, because this is the good stuff. 👀

syd-fs(1) does not follow (magic) symbolic links in any component of the given path, and it pulls this off by using openat2(2) resolve flags RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS and RESOLVE_NO_MAGICLINKS. no cap. 🫶

so if you were hoping to sneak a symlink somewhere in the middle of your path and have it quietly resolve — nope, not today. it's a no-symlink zone in every single path component. 💀
