VOMS-PROXY-INFO(1)

💖 VOMS-PROXY-INFO(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for voms-proxy-info — the little icon that reads your proxy and tells you everything it knows 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

voms-proxy-info — prints information about a proxy with VOMS extensions. that's it, that's the job, and it does it beautifully 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

voms-proxy-info [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, the voms-proxy-info command prints information about a proxy, and yes, it also spills the tea on the VOMS extension. no gatekeeping here 💖

the default location of the proxy is:

/tmp/x509up_u<user_id>

where user_id is the effective user id of the user running the command. periodt.

if your proxy is living somewhere non-standard (main character behavior, honestly), you can point at it with the -file option. 🫶
