β¨ OSCAPD-CLI β¨
okay bestie, gather round π«Ά this is the manual page for oscapd-cli, aka the OpenSCAP-daemon command line interface, and it lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the System Administration Utilities girlies, iykyk π).
πΈ NAME πΈ
oscapd-cli β the OpenSCAP-daemon command line interface π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
oscapd-cli [-h] {eval,scan,task,task-create,status,result}
π DESCRIPTION π
So basically you run this thing and it does... nothing on its own?? It's a dispatcher, bestie. It's giving β¨main character energyβ¨ with a little entourage of subcommands, and you gotta pick one. Here's the whole squad:
π positional arguments π
{eval,task,task-create,status,result}β the menu of vibes you can pick from, no cap πevalβ an interactive, one-off evaluation of literally any target that OpenSCAP Daemon supports. Just one and done, she's not committing to anything πtaskβ shows you info about tasks that have already been defined, and also lets you perform operations on those already-defined tasks. Lowkey the multitasker of the group π§task-createβ creates a brand new task. New task, who dis πstatusβ displays the status, plus the tasks that are planned and the tasks that are currently being evaluated. It's the "what's everyone doing rn" of subcommands πresultβ displays info about past results. Receipts!! π§Ύβ¨
π optional arguments π
-h,--helpβ shows this help message and then dips. exit stage left πͺβ¨-v,--versionβ shows the program's version number and then also dips. iconic behaviour honestly π
not me realizing there's a scan in the synopsis braces but no matching entry in the positional list... the original page said what it said and I'm not about to invent lore, so we're leaving it exactly as it was written fr fr π
