ARPTABLES-LEGACY-RESTORE(8)

💖 ARPTABLES-LEGACY-RESTORE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for arptables-legacy-restore, and yes it lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the "system admin commands" section, iykyk). It's giving very much "tiny tool, big job" energy and we are going to read it together, fr fr. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

arptables-legacy-restore — Restore ARP Tables 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

arptables-legacy-restore

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags listed here, no arguments, just the bare command being its unbothered main character self. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie: arptables-legacy-restore is the tool you use to restore ARP Tables from data that you pipe in on STDIN. 🌸

not me showing up with data on standard input like "hi i brought the whole ARP table back" 😭 iconic honestly

The way you actually get the data in there is by using the I/O redirection that your shell already gives you, so you can read it in from a file. That's the whole move. Your shell does the plumbing, this command does the restoring. 🫶

✨ BUGS ✨

None known as of the arptables-legacy-0.0.3.3 release. 🎉

like... zero known bugs?? we love a clean slate bestie, no cap. (do keep in mind that's as of that specific arptables-legacy-0.0.3.3 release, so it's a snapshot-in-time flex, not a forever promise 💀)
