💾 ZSYSCTL-SAVE(1) 💾

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the page for zsysctl-save from the ZSYS: zsysctl(1) manual. it saves the current state of the machine. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

zsysctl-save — Saves the current state of the machine. By default it saves only the user state. state_id is generated if not provided.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zsysctl save [state id] [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this one is an alias of zsysctl state save. no cap. it does the exact same thing as that command, it's just the shortcut version for when you don't feel like typing the whole thing out. main character energy fr fr.

so what does it actually do? it saves the current state of the machine. 🎀 and by default it only saves the user state — not the whole entire system, just the user part, because sometimes you just want a lil snapshot and not the whole wardrobe.

and if you don't hand it a state_id? no worries bestie, it'll generate one for you. it's giving ✨self-sufficient✨.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --auto[=false] — Signal this is an automated request triggered by script. so if some lil script is the one asking, you flag it here so everyone knows it wasn't a human tapping away. 🤖
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for save. the classic. shows you the help, obviously. 🫶
  • --no-update-bootmenu[=false] — Do not update bootmenu on system state save. so like, on a system state save it would normally update the bootmenu, and this flag says nope, don't do that. 🙈
  • -s, --system[=false] — Save complete system state (users and system). the full send option. not just your user state, everything. 👑
  • -u, --user="" — Save the state for a given user or current user if empty. pass a username and it saves that person's state; leave it empty ("") and it just does the current user. so you, basically. hi. 🍓

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

  • -v, --verbose[=0] — issue INFO (-v) and DEBUG (-vv) output. one -v for INFO, two for DEBUG. the way that -vv just unlocks the whole lore 😭🔍
