💾 ebtables-legacy-save(8) — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about ebtables-legacy-save from section 8 of the manual. yes, section 8 — that's the sysadmin section, the one where the tools live. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ebtables-legacy-save — dump ebtables rules to stdout. that's it, that's the whole job. iconic. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ebtables-legacy-save

no flags. no arguments. no little extras. she takes nothing and she gives you everything (on stdout). the way that this command simply exists and does one thing?? main character energy fr fr. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe: ebtables-legacy-save dumps the contents of an Ethernet bridge frame Table out to STDOUT, and it does it in a format that's easily parseable. like, clean. readable. ready to be fed back into something else. lowkey beautiful. 😭

and how do you get that output into an actual file, you ask? you use the I/O redirection that your shell already gives you. that's the whole move. the command writes to stdout, the shell does the redirect, and you walk away with a file. teamwork!! 🫶

pro tip from the group chat: the shell redirection part is your job, not hers. she just talks to STDOUT. don't ask her to do the redirect, bestie, that's not her department. 🎀

🐛 BUGS 🐛

None known as of ebtables-2.0.10-4 release.

and no, i'm not being sarcastic, that is genuinely what it says. zero known bugs at that point in time. we love a clean record. no cap. ✨
