💅 WWCTL(1) — the one where we rename an image

okay so bestie, you're looking at the wwctl(1) man page (that's the manual name, slay) and specifically the bit about renaming images. cute, right? let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME

wwctl-image-rename — rename an existing image 🎀

like, you have an image. it has a name. you want a different name. that's the whole gig. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS

wwctl image rename IMAGE NEW_NAME

two things, in this order, no cap:

  • IMAGE — the image you already have
  • NEW_NAME — the name you want it to have instead

✨ DESCRIPTION

This command renames an existing image. that's it, that's the vibe — you point it at an existing image, you tell it the new name, and boom, the image is now going by a whole new identity. main character reinvention moment 💫

🎀 OPTIONS

  • -b, --build[=false] — build the image after the rename. defaults to false, so if you want that build you gotta say so 🫶
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for rename. defaults to false. the classic "wait what does this do again" button 💖

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

these aren't even rename's own flags, they're handed down from the parent commands — but you still get to use them, lucky you 🍓

  • -d, --debug[=false] — run with debugging messages enabled. defaults to false. when you need the tea on what's actually happening 🔍
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — run with increased verbosity. defaults to false. for when you want it to talk 💬
  • --warewulfconf="" — set the warewulf configuration file. default is the empty string "", so ngl, if you want a specific conf file you're spelling it out yourself 🌈
