📦 version 1.0.3, in ubuntu stonking

💖 KEYTAB2SHISHI 💖

okay bestie, so this is keytab2shishi, and it lives in section 8 of the system administration utilities — yes, the big-girl admin section, we love that for her. it's a Shishi host key conversion tool and it is, lowkey, doing the most important little job ever.

🌸 NAME 🌸

keytab2shishi</purl> — no wait, keytab2shishi — the Shishi host key conversion tool. that's it, that's the name, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

keytab2shishi [OPTION]... [INFILE [OUTFILE]]...

literally just options and then some files, girl. she's flexible like that. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea fr fr: keytab2shishi reads keytab data from INFILE (which is, like, usually /etc/krb5.keytab, the classic) and writes Shishi hostkeys out to OUTFILE.

and if you don't specify INFILE and OUTFILE at all? no stress bestie, she just uses the defaults. main character energy, honestly. 👑

✨ the options, let's get into it ✨

  • -h, --help — print help and then exit. she's being helpful, she's being cute, she's leaving. 🫶
  • -V, --version — print the version and exit. tell her who she is. 💖
  • -R, --reverse — reverse the whole thing: read Shishi hostkeys from INFILE and write keytab data to OUTFILE. (default=off) 🔄
  • -v, --verbose — produce verbose output. run it multiple times to keep stacking up how much info you get. she will keep talking, and honestly? we let her. 🗣️
  • -q, --quiet — don't produce any diagnostic output at all. not one peep. (default=off) 🤫
okay quick PSA: mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. no exceptions, no shortcuts, periodt. 💀

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? don't be shy, report it to <bug-shishi@gnu.org>. she wants to know, she wants to fix it, she wants to grow. 🌱
