💫 zsysctl-boot-prepare 💫

okay bestie, so this is a page from the ZSYS: zsysctl(1) manual set — it's the zsysctl boot prepare situation and honestly it's giving "quietly important little command." Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

zsysctl-boot-prepare — bestie, this one prepares boot by making sure the right system and user datasets are switched on and switched off. that's the whole job. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zsysctl boot prepare [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like… it prepares boot by ensuring correct system and user datasets are switched on and off. literally that. it's the glow-up moment before your machine boots — the vibe check that makes sure the datasets that should be active are active, and the ones that shouldn't be are asleep 💤

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for prepare. classic. every command's comfort blanket. show me the help, queen 👑

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these bad boys come from the parent command, so they're not even native here, they're just visiting 💖

  • -p, --print-changes[=false] — Display if any zfs datasets have been modified to boot. lowkey a receipts option: it tells you whether anything actually got touched, instead of leaving you guessing 🔍
  • -v, --verbose[=0] — issue INFO (-v) and DEBUG (-vv) output. so -v is the chatty version, and -vv is the "tell me EVERYTHING, I want the whole group chat scrollback" version 😭
