💖 ZKTREEUTIL 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about zktreeutil — that's the manual page ZKTREEUTIL(1) from the User Commands girlies, version 0.0. she's a whole mood and she's about to run your ZooKeeper tree like it's her own group chat. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

zktreeutil — manual page for zktreeutil 0.0 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zktreeutil [args-and-values]+

like, you have to give her at least one arg-and-value combo. she's not a mind reader, she's a utility. 🙈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ZK-tree utility for managing ZK-tree with XML import/export, viewing diff between live and saved ZK-tree and performing incremental update of the same. 💖

so basically: manage the ZK-tree, import/export it as XML, peek at the diff between what's live and what's saved, and do incremental updates of the same. iconic behaviour, honestly. ⭐

here's the rundown of every flag she takes, and yes, we're doing all of them, because we don't skip. periodt. 🎀

• --import or -I — Imports the zookeeper tree from XML file. Must be specified with --zookeeper AND --xmlfile options. Optionally takes --path for importing subtree. 📥
• --export or -E — Exports the zookeeper tree to XML file. Must be specified with --zookeeper option. Optionally takes --path for exporting subtree. 📤
• --update or -U — Updates zookeeper tree with changes from XML file. Update operation is interactive unless specified with --force option. Must be specified with --zookeeper AND --xmlfile options. Optionally takes --path for updating subtree. 🔄
• --diff or -F — Creates a list of diff actions on ZK tree based on XML data. Must be specified with --zookeeper OR --xmlfile options. Optionally takes --path for subtree diff. 👀
• --dump or -D — Dumps the entire ZK (sub)tree to standard output. Must be specified with --zookeeper OR --xmlfile options. Optionally takes --path and --depth for dumping subtree. 🗑️✨
• --xmlfile=<filename> or -x <filename> — Zookeeper tree-data XML file. 📄
• --path=<znodepath> or -p <znodepath> — Path to the zookeeper subtree rootnode. 🌳
• --depth=<tree-depth> or -d <tree-depth> — Depth of the ZK tree to be dumped (ignored for XML dump). 📏
• --force or -f — Forces cleanup before import; also used for forceful update. Optionally be specified with --import and --update. 💥
• --help or -h — prints this message. 🫶
• --zookeeper=<zkhosts> or -z <zkhosts> — specifies information to connect to zookeeper. 🔌

okay real talk bestie: --update is interactive unless you hand her --force, so don't be out here surprised when she starts asking you questions. and --depth gets straight-up ignored for XML dump — she said what she said. 💀

and that's the whole page, no notes, she ate and left absolutely zero crumbs. 🍓
