CSYNC2-COMPARE(8)

💖 CSYNC2-COMPARE 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about csync2-compare — it's a User Command in section 8 of the manual and it's literally out here simulating a directory sync between two hosts so you don't have to find out the hard way. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

csync2-compare [-v] host1 host2 basedir

three little args and one optional vibe boost, that's the whole thing. iconic. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕: csync2-compare takes the directory basedir and compares the synchronization in one direction (host1 -> host2) against the synchronization in the other direction (host2 -> host1). like, it's doing both directions and holding them up next to each other. main character energy fr fr.

and bestie, it does not spam you. Only files that differ between the hosts are reported. that's it. that's the output. no noise, no clutter, just the receipts. 😌

oh and heads up — this command uses ssh for starting csync2 on hosts, and it works best when public key authentication is in place. so get your keys sorted first, otherwise you're gonna be typing passwords forever and nobody has the patience for that. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -v — Produce a more verbose output. 🗣️ more words, more detail, more to look at. if you're a "I want to see everything" girlie, this one's for you. 💖
