NETPLAN-GET(8)

💅 NETPLAN-GET — read merged Netplan YAML configuration

okay bestie, so this is netplan-get, and it lives in the System Manager's Manual (section 8, for the record — that's the "admin commands" section, iykyk). she's the read-only sibling of the netplan family and she's literally just here to show you your config. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

netplan [--debug] get -h|--help

netplan [--debug] get [--root-dir=ROOT_DIR] [key]

that's the whole vibe. two flavours: ask for help, or ask for config. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so netplan get key reads all the YAML files from /{etc,lib,run}/netplan/*.yaml and gives you back a merged view of the current configuration. like a smoothie but for YAML. 🦋

you can pass all as your key — that's the default, fyi — and you'll get the entire YAML tree dumped out. or, if you're being a picky little main character, you can extract just a subtree by specifying a nested key like:

[network.]ethernets.eth0.

slay. targeted. efficient. 💅

for the details of the configuration file format, pls go read netplan(5) — she's the icon who explains all that.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — prints basic help. the "hi what does this do" button. 🫶
• --debug — prints debugging output during the process, so you can watch her work. very cunty of her. 🔥
• --root-dir — reads YAML files from this root instead of /. like, a different root entirely. no notes. ✨
