💅 opatop — NAME ✨

okay bestie, so opatop is literally the moment you've been waiting for: it starts the Fabric Performance Monitor (opatop) Text-based User Interface (TUI) menu so you can see all the tea about your fabric's performance, congestion, and error info. like, the whole vibe check on your fabric, in a menu, in your terminal. iconic behavior fr fr. 🦋

this one lives in the IFSFFCLIRG manual, section 8 — iykyk. 💖

🌸 Syntax

opatop [-v] [-q] [-h  hfi] [-p  port] [--timeout] [-i  seconds]

look at her. so clean. so slay. ✨

🎀 Options

  • --help — prints the full help text. the "help me help you" button. 💁‍♀️
  • -v, --verbose level — sets the verbose output level. bestie the value is additive, so you stack them up like bracelets:
    • 1 — Screen
    • 4 — STDERR opatop
    • 16 — STDERR PaClient
  • -q, --quiet — disables progress reports. no commentary, just vibes. 🤫
  • -h, --hfi hfi — picks the HFI, numbered 1..n. if you use 0, that means the -p port port is a system-wide port number. default is 0. 📍
  • -p, --port port — picks the port, numbered 1..n. using 0 means the first active port. default is 0. 🔥
  • --timeout — sets the timeout (that's the response wait time) in ms. default is 1000 ms. ⏳
  • -i, --interval seconds — the interval, in seconds, at which PA queries get performed to refresh to the latest PA image. default is 10 seconds. 🕐

🌈 the -h and -p options permit a variety of selections

this is the part where you mix and match like it's an outfit. periodt.

  • -h 0 — first active port in system (Default). 👑
  • -h 0 -p 0 — first active port in system. (yes, same energy, she's flexible) ✨
  • -h x — first active port on HFI x.
  • -h x -p 0 — first active port on HFI x.
  • -h 0 -p y — port y within system (no matter which ports are active). no cap.
  • -h x -p y — HFI x, port y. the full main-character combo. 💅
lowkey reminder bestie: that -h 0 -p y one grabs port y regardless of whether those ports are active, so don't come for me when you get exactly what you asked for. 😭
