✨ vhdiinfo(1) ✨ — the manual page, but make it make sense 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for vhdiinfo, living in the LOCAL manual section. it's short, it's sweet, and it's about to tell you everything your VHD image is hiding. let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vhdiinfo — determines information about a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image file. yes that's literally the whole job. she's a detective. 🔍

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vhdiinfo [-hvV] source

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

vhdiinfo is a utility to determine information about a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image file. that's it. that's the gig. no cap. ✨

vhdiinfo is part of the libvhdi package. libvhdi is a library to access the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image format. so like, she's not out here alone, she's got a whole library backing her up, main character energy for real 💅

source is the source file. like, the file you want the tea on. 🍓

the options are as follows:

  • -h — shows this help. hold my hand, bestie, here's how I work 🫶
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. she starts oversharing, but only on stderr, iykyk 😭
  • -V — print version. who am I? what am I? iconic questions, honestly 👑

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None. nothing. zero. she doesn't care about your env vars, bestie 💀

🎀 FILES 🎀

None. literally none. she's not leaving anything lying around, that's not her vibe 🧚

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

okay so here's the moment you've all been waiting for, here's her in action:

# vhdiinfo differential.vhd
vhdiinfo 20130512

Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image information:
        Format:                 1.0
        Disk type:              Differential
        Media size:             536870912 bytes
        Identifier:             5577d188-a753-4a80-800a-c627f764c304
        Parent identifier:      44421587-1b53-4972-9ceb-9a31e1618e5b
        Parent filename:        dynamic.vhd

look at all that. format! disk type! media size! identifiers! parent filename! she ate and left no crumbs 👑💜

💜 DIAGNOSTICS 💜

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. 🫶

⚠️ and listen — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so like, if you didn't build her that way, the -v vibe check won't unlock extra lore. ngl that's just how it is 😭
