BOOTC-STATUS-UPDATED.PATH(5)

💅 NAME 💅

bootc-status-updated.path — bestie, this is the little systemd path unit that keeps an eye on the bootc root directory and yells at its buddy when stuff changes. It's giving watchdog energy, but make it ✨aesthetic✨.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

OK so picture this: this unit is sitting there, watching the bootc root directory — that's /ostree/bootc, no cap — waiting for literally any modification. The second something shifts, it triggers its companion systemd unit, bootc-status-updated.target. Dynamic duo behavior, fr fr. 🫶

And how does it know? Because the bootc program itself updates the mtime on its root directory whenever the contents of bootc status change. Like, the directory's timestamp gets a lil glow-up. ✨

And when does bootc status content actually change, you ask? When one of these ops goes down:

• an update
• an upgrade
• an edit
• a switch
• a rollback

So basically any time your system switches vibes, bootc touches that mtime, this path unit notices, and bootc-status-updated.target gets the ✨summons✨. Iconic. 👑
