MogileFS::FID(3)

💖 MogileFS::FID 💖

ok so bestie, we're in User Contributed Perl Documentation territory and this is the MogileFS::FID(3) page, section 3 of the manual, and it is short but it is iconic. pull up a chair 🪑✨

✨ NAME ✨

MogileFS::FID</purage> — represents a unique, immutable version of a file 🦋

---

🌸 ABOUT 🌸

okay so picture this: this class represents a "fid", aka a "file id", and a fid is a unique revision of a file. like, that's its whole thing. that's the vibe. 💅

here's the moment that makes it click: say you upload a file using the same key (that's the "filename", bestie) a dozen times. twelve uploads. twelve little guys. and each one has a unique "fid" — not me getting emotional over revision history 😭

and here's the part you gotta internalise: fids are immutable. like, they do not change. they cannot change. they are frozen in time, main character energy, no edits, no take-backs, periodt. 👑

and also — and this is the big one — fids are what gets replicated around the MogileFS farm. 🐄🌈 like, the fid is the thing that travels. the fid is the whole point. the way that the entire farm is just out here copying fids around... obsessed, fr fr.

no cap: immutable means immutable. don't go looking for a "change the fid" method, it's giving delulu. 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie — short and slay 💖
