opafmconfigpp(8)

💖 opafmconfigpp 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this one is opafmconfigpp, and it lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin/daemon girlies section, iykyk). It's part of IFSFFCLIRG, and honestly? it's giving glue code that holds your whole fabric config together.

✨ NAME ✨

opafmconfigpp — merges the opafm.xml pre-process file with a whole set of VirtualFabric and DeviceGroup XML files. no cap, that's literally its whole job and it ate.

🎀 Syntax 🎀

opafmconfigpp [-p  ppfile] [-o  output] [-b] [-s] [-f] [-h]

💅 Options 💅

• -h — produces the full help text. the "hello bestie what does this even do" button 🫶
• -p ppfile — specifies the file to preprocess. default is /etc/opa-fm/opafm_pp.xml. like, the source of truth before the merge glow-up ✨
• -o output — specifies the output XML file. default is /etc/opa-fm/opafm.xml. this is where the merged masterpiece lands 🎀
• -b — backs up the old output file if one exists. default is 0. safety first, bestie, we do not rawdog overwrites here 💀
• -s — skips running Config Check on the output. default is 0. (yes, skipping the vibe check is an option. bold of you, but okay 🙈)
• -f — forces overwrite of the old output file. default is 0. main character energy: no backup, no hesitation, just send it 🔥

🌸 Notes 🌸

The output file will contain two comments at the top, along with the local time it was generated. lil timestamp receipt, love that for us.

The special INCLUDE comments follow this style:

<!-- INCLUDE:DG_DIR=$DG_DIR -->

<!-- INCLUDE:VF_DIR=$VF_DIR -->

Examples:

<!-- INCLUDE:VF_DIR=/etc/opa-fm/vfs -->

<!-- INCLUDE:VF_DIR=/etc/opa-fm/vfs_fm1 -->

<!-- INCLUDE:DG_DIR=/etc/opa-fm/dgs -->

<!-- INCLUDE:DG_DIR=/etc/opa-fm/dgs_fm0 -->

INCLUDE comments will be replaced with contents of the given directories. so like, the comment goes in, the actual directory contents come out. magical. iconic. transformative 💖

🦋 Example 🦋

opafmconfigpp

opafmconfigpp -b -s

first one: just run it, default everything, no thoughts head empty ⭐

second one: back up the old output and skip the Config Check. living dangerously but responsibly, periodt.

⚠️ real talk — -f force-overwrites your old output file, and -s skips the Config Check on the output. those defaults of 0 are there for a reason, bestie. know what you're doing before you flip them 🫶

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left 💜
