💖 NAME 💖

vslvminfo — bestie, this lil cutie figures out literally everything about a Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume system ✨

(also she lives in the LOCAL manual section, calling herself vslvminfo() like the icon she is 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vslvminfo [-o offset] [-hvV] source

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

vslvminfo is a utility that determines information about a Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume system. no cap, she just sniffs out the tea and reports back 🫖

She's part of the libvslvm package. And libvslvm? It's a library for accessing the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume system format. the friend group is giving iconic 🎀

source is the source file, bestie. that's the one you point her at 👑

The options are as follows, so lock in:

  • -h — shows this help, so helpful of her 💖
  • -o offset — specify the volume offset in bytes (yes, in bytes, don't get cute with it)
  • -v — verbose output to stderr, she gets chatty 🗣️
  • -V — print version, the classic "who are you" moment ⭐

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None. nada. zero. she needs no environment variables, she's lowkey self-sufficient 💜

🦋 FILES 🦋

None. fr fr, no files. she is that independent ✨

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

okay so here's her serving exactly what you asked for:

💅 DIAGNOSTICS 💅

Errors, verbose and debug output get printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. and here's the tea: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you compiled her without it, no amount of -v is gonna unlock that ✋😭
