HSCI(8)

💅 HSCI 💅

okay so bestie, buckle up — this is the manual page for hsci, straight out of the Linux Programmer's Manual, and it's genuinely one of the more iconic little utilities you'll meet. it lives to control and show HSCI settings, and honestly? she ate. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hsci add HSDEV NETDEV
hsci del HSCINAME
hsci show
hsci [-hv]

that's the whole vibe check right there — four ways to summon her. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so hsci is used to control and show HSCI (HiperSockets Converged Interfaces) settings. the whole concept is lowkey gorgeous: a HiperSockets interface and an external network interface get converged into one single HSCI interface. two become one, main character energy, no cap. 💖

del HSCINAME

Deletes an HSCI interface. 😭 it's giving breakup era.
