CDIST-TYPE__PING(7)

✨ cdist-type__ping β€” the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, this is cdist-type__ping from the cdist manuals (section 7, the fancy one πŸ’…). it's tiny. it's iconic. it's literally just vibes and a network check. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

cdist-type__ping β€” try to connect to a host and return 'pong' on success πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so like. this is a simple type. and when I say simple I mean it's giving minimal-effort-queen πŸ‘‘

what it does: it tries to connect to a remote host and runs a simple command to make sure everything is working. that's it. that's the whole personality. no cap πŸŽ€

think of it as the "hey are you up?" text at 2am. if you get a reply, we're so back. if not… 🫠

πŸ’œ REQUIRED PARAMETERS πŸ’œ

None. nope. zero. nothing. she asks for nothing and honestly? iconic ✨


🩷 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🩷

None. also nothing!! no options, no flags, no drama. the way that this type literally just shows up and does its job πŸ˜­πŸ’…


🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

look how short this is. it's practically a haiku:

__ping

that's the whole example bestie. run __ping, get a 'pong' back, slay πŸ“πŸ’–
