WWCTL(1)

💅 WWCTL(1) — the wwctl girlies' manual 🎀

okay so this is a page from the WWCTL(1) manual fam — specifically the wwctl-configure-hostfile subcommand, which, yes, is a mouthful, but we love her anyway ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wwctl-configure-hostfile — update hostfile on master 🫶

like, literally what it says: you're updating the hostfile, and it happens on the master. no cap.

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

wwctl configure hostfile [OPTIONS]

that's the whole vibe. command, subcommand, sub-subcommand, optional flags. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Manage the hostfile on the master node 💖

that's it. that's the whole description. she's short, she's sweet, she's on the master node. main character energy tbh.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help[=false] — help for hostfile 🌈 default is false, but honestly bestie, flip that to true the second you're confused. no shame.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the flags you get for free from the parent command, like hand-me-downs but make it useful:

• -d, --debug[=false] — Run with debugging messages enabled. 🔥 default false, so turn it on when you want the tea about what's actually happening.
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Run with increased verbosity. 💬 default false — she says more when you ask her to.
• --warewulfconf="" — Set the warewulf configuration file. 🗂️ default is "" (empty string, nothing, nada), so point her at your config file if that's your situation.
