💖 RSATTACH(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the rsattach page from the Linux System Managers Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet, so let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

rsattach — start a Rose interface 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

rsattach [-i inetaddr] [-v] port

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, rsattach is out here pulling a lot of the parameters for the port straight from the rsports(5) file 👑 she's not doing all that work herself, she's sourcing it.

the port argument is literally just the name of a port, exactly as it's given in that rsports(5) file. that's it, that's the assignment 💅

then she goes looking for a free Rose device in the system 🔍 the device name she checks is rose0. and if there's no free Rose device available?? 😭 an error gets generated and the program terminates. no device, no vibes, we're done here periodt.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -i inetaddr — sets the internet address of the interface 💖 this address can be either a dotted decimal address or a host name, dealer's choice, she's flexible like that ✨
  • -v — displays the version 👑 classic, iconic, never misses

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

rose(4), rsparms(4), rsports(5), ifconfig(8).

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so this is the part where we all hold hands 🙈 the program can be run many times with the same arguments, which creates many instances of the same attributes on different devices. and yeah... not a good idea. that's it, that's the warning, that's the whole thing 💀
