🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/usr/local/sbin/rtas_dbg -l | function | token

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The rtas_dbg tool enables RTAS debug output for a particular RTAS call. Literally its whole thing. ✨

Heads up: currently, this tool is only supported on PowerVM systems. No cap. 💜

👑 OPTIONS 👑

that’s the whole page, short and iconic. periodt. 🦋
