💖 BBCONSJSON — the Bacula JSON config dump era 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to bbconsjson, aka section 8 of the manual (system admin tools, we love a system admin tool 🫶). It's Bacula's JSON configuration export tool and honestly? it's giving "let me just look at my config in JSON real quick". no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

bbconsjson — Bacula's JSON configuration export tool 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bbconsjson [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just bbconsjson and whatever flags your heart desires ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, this manual page documents briefly the bbconsjson command. briefly!! we're keeping it cute and short.

bbconsjson is a simple program — and when I say simple I mean lowkey iconic — that will allow you to dump the Bacula Console configuration in JSON format. so like, your whole console config, but make it JSON. main character energy fr fr 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's a summary of the options, bestie. every single one, we don't gatekeep. periodt.

  • -? — show the version and usage of the program 👑
  • -d nn — set the debug level to nn 🐛
  • -dt — print a timestamp in the debug output ⏰
  • -r <res> — get resource type 🌈
  • -n <name> — get resource name 🏷️
  • -l <dirs> — get only directives matching dirs (use this one with -r, they're a package deal 💞)
  • -D — get only data 📦
  • -R — do not apply JobDefs to Job 🚫
  • -c <file> — set the configuration file to file 📄
  • -d <nn> — set debug level to <nn> 🐛 (yes bestie, she's here twice, I don't make the rules)
  • -dt — print timestamp in debug output ⏰ (also on the remix, okay? the man page said it twice so I'm saying it twice)
  • -t — read configuration and exit 🚪
  • -s — output in show text format 📝
  • -v — verbose user messages 🗣️
ngl bestie, -d nn and -d <nn> are literally the same flag listed two different ways in the original. I'm keeping both because the rule is keep every single detail. don't come for me 💀
