💅 QETHQOAT 💅

okay so real talk, this is the qethqoat page from the System Manager's Manual section 8, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little query tools on s390. she's short, she's sweet, she tells you about your OSA address table. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qethqoat — query the OSA address table. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qethqoat [-hv]
qethqoat [-r] [-s scope] interface
qethqoat -f file

three whole moods, bestie. pick your fighter ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: you use qethqoat to query the OSA address table and display physical and logical device information. that's literally the entire job and she does it slayfully 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v, --version — prints the version number of qethqoat and then dips. iconic exit behavior, no notes 👑
  • -h, --help — displays the help information for the command. your safe space when you forget everything 🫶
  • -r, --raw — writes raw data to stdout. no styling, no filter, just the unfiltered truth fr fr 💀
  • -f, --file — reads input from file. give her a snack to read from 🍓
  • -s, --scope — defines the scope of the query. following scopes are supported:
    • 0 — query the level of the OSA address table 🌈
    • 1 — interface (this is the default, the main character, the one you'll use 99% of the time) ⭐

🔥 RETURN CODES 🔥

qethqoat writes the response to stdout and any error message to stderr. she keeps her successes and her struggles in separate group chats, as she should 💜

the command completes with one of the following return codes:

  • 0 — the qethqoat command ran successfully. ate and left no crumbs ✨
  • 1 — an error occurred. it happens to the best of us, no cap 😭

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟
