PACEMAKER(8)

🎀 PACEMAKER(8) 🎀

okay so real quick before anything else — this page lives in section 8 of the manual, aka System Administration Utilities, and it's all about crm_error, one tiny icon in the whole Pacemaker universe 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Pacemaker — literally part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager, that's the whole vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

crm_error [options] -- <rc> [...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so crm_error is the bestie that tells you the name or description of a Pacemaker error code 😭 like you hand it a number and it's like "oh honey that one means this" and suddenly your whole debugging session makes sense ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

💖 Help Options:

• -h, --help — shows you the help options, the classic "halp" move 🫶
• --help-all — shows all the help options, no crumbs left behind 👑
• --help-output — shows the output help, specifically all about the output side of things 🌸

🌈 Output Options:

• --output-as=FORMAT — pick your output format, one of: text (the default, lowkey the comfy one) or xml 🔥
• --output-to=DEST — tell it where to put the output, i.e. a file name (or use - for stdout, natch) 💫

⭐ Application Options:

• -$, --version — display the software version and exit, boom done, bye 👋
• -V, --verbose — increase debug output, and yes you may specify it multiple times, go off queen 🗣️
• -n, --name — show the error's name along with its description (so useful when you're hunting down where the error actually comes from in the source code, iykyk) 🔍
• -l, --list — show all known errors (this one is enabled by default if no rc is specified, so it just happens, no cap) 📋
• -X, --exit — interpret the thing as an exit code rather than a legacy function return value 🚪
• -r, --rc — interpret the thing as a return code rather than a legacy function return value 🔁
