FSNIPER(5)

💖 FSNIPER(5) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for FSNIPER(5) — the configuration file format one, not the command one, iykyk. Let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

$HOME/.config/fsniper/config — the user configuration file for fsniper(1). that's the whole vibe. that's the file. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so when you launch fsniper(1), it reads this file. it's a C-style configuration file, no cap. 🫶

the file begins with a watch section. ✨

then, every subsection inside that is a directory to watch. like, one subsection per directory, okay? 👑

under that, each subsection is a filter for file to apply a rule. there are 2 types of filters, and you gotta know both:

🦋 MIME-Type filters

• image/* will apply the rule only on images
• image/png will apply the rule only on png images

literally it's giving "pick your type." 💅

🎀 Name filters

⭐ Wildcards

• *name* — match on name with regular wildcard. or on extension (*.jpg for example)

🌈 Regular Expressions

• /regex/ — match on name with the regex given.

---

the last section is the start of the rule, and its format is:

handler = command to apply

the command can be any shell command. to get the file name, use %% 🔥

Example:

handler = echo %%

💀 heads up bestie: the %% is how the file name gets dropped into your command. don't forget it or your handler is just out here vibing with no file. 🙈
