GRUB-OFPATHNAME(8)
πΈ GRUB-OFPATHNAME(8) β the grub-ofpathname glow-up πΈ
Hii bestie π so this is a page from the GRUB 2.14 manual set (system administration utilities, very official, very serious, we love that for it), and honestly it is short. Like, suspiciously short. But that's not gonna stop us from reading it together, right? Let's go β¨
π NAME π
grub-ofpathname β the little tool that finds the OpenBOOT path for a device π
That's it. That's the whole mission statement. Find the OpenBOOT path. For a device. Iconic, concise, no notes. π
β SYNOPSIS β
grub-ofpathname DEVICE
So you give it exactly one thing: DEVICE. That's the whole handshake π«Ά. No extra flags, no secret menu, no "just one more option" β the vibes are minimal and we respect it.
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so here's the tea, and I need you to sit down for it: the original page literally has nothing under DESCRIPTION. Not a crumb. Not a single line of prose π.
So I'm not gonna sit here and make stuff up about what it does internally, because that would be a fake bestie move, and I'm not about that life. All this page is willing to tell us is the thing from NAME: it finds the OpenBOOT path for a device, and you feed it a DEVICE to do it. That's the whole documented personality π. Sometimes less is more, and sometimes it's just less, and both are valid π.
Ngl if you want the real deep lore, this page is telling you to go read the full docs β and bestie, it literally tells you how. Scroll down π
π SEE ALSO π
grub-probe(8)β go hang out with its sibling, it knows things π
The full documentation for grub-ofpathname is maintained as a Texinfo manual β¨. If the info and grub-ofpathname programs are properly installed at your site, then this command:
info grub-ofpathname
should give you access to the complete manual π. (Like, "properly installed at your site" β that's the vibe check you have to pass first, bestie. Fingers crossed π€)
π§ sign-off π§
And that's the whole page, babes β this gem is from GRUB 2.14, dated May 2026 πΈ. Short, sweet, and absolutely refusing to over-explain itself. Honestly? Main character energy. Periodt π β¨π
