WWCTL(1)

🌸 WWCTL(1) — the wwctl image kernels glow-up guide 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the WWCTL manual — section 1, general commands, the whole vibe 💅 — and it's literally just about listing kernels. That's it. That's the whole thing. And yet we're gonna read it together because that's what friends do 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wwctl-image-kernels — list available image kernels 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wwctl image kernels [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole command. one line, no notes, iconic ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it do, you ask? this command lists the kernels that are available in the imported images. periodt. that's the entire function. you run it, it tells you which kernels are chilling inside the images you've already imported, and then you go live your life 🦋

no cap, that's genuinely all it does — no hidden behaviour, no secret extra steps. it's giving "helpful little list command" main character energy 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help[=false] — help for kernels 🎀 (classic. every command's emotional support flag.)

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these ones aren't even this command's flags, they're inherited from the parent commands — so they come from up the wwctl family tree 🌈 still usable here though, iykyk:

• -d, --debug[=false] — run with debugging messages enabled 🔥 (turn it on when you need to see what's actually going on under the hood)
• -v, --verbose[=false] — run with increased verbosity 💬 (more talkative = more output. she's a yapper fr fr)
• --warewulfconf="" — set the warewulf configuration file 🧚 (empty default "", so you point it at whatever config file you want)

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• wwctl-image(1) — go check out the parent command, she's the icon, the moment, the mother 👑
