💖 ibcacheedit — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you know ibcacheedit from the Open IB Diagnostics corner of the universe? yeah. this is her page. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ibcacheedit — edit an ibnetdiscover cache. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ibcacheedit [options] <orig.cache> <new.cache>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ibcacheedit lets you edit an ibnetdiscover cache — specifically one that got created through the --cache option in ibnetdiscover(8). that's the whole vibe. you bring a cache, you change some guids, you get a new cache. main character energy fr fr. 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --switchguid BEFOREGUID:AFTERGUID — here's where you say "hey, this switchguid needs to change." you put the before guid and the after guid with a colon between them, like a little friendship bracelet 🎀. and here's the tea: on switches, the port guids are identical to the switch guid, so when you do this, the port guids get adjusted too. no cap.
  • --caguid BEFOREGUID:AFTERGUID — same situation but for a caguid. before guid, colon, after guid. slay. ✨
  • --sysimgguid BEFOREGUID:AFTERGUID — yep, you guessed it: a sysimgguid that should be changed. before and after guid, separated by a colon. iconic behavior honestly.
  • --portguid NODEGUID:BEFOREGUID:AFTERGUID — okay this one has THREE parts so pay attention bestie 📝. first you give the nodeguid of the port (think: switchguid or caguid), then a colon, then the before port guid, then another colon, then the after port guid. and btw, on switches the port guids are identical to the switch guid, so the switch guid gets adjusted too. periodt.

🧚 Debugging flags 🧚

  • -h, --help — shows the usage message. she's helpful like that. 🫶
