S6-CLEANFIFODIR(8)

🧹 S6-CLEANFIFODIR(8) — the cleanup queen herself ✨

okay so real talk, this is a System Manager's Manual page for s6-cleanfifodir, and yes bestie, we're gonna get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

s6-cleanfifodir — the girl whose whole job is cleaning up an s6-fifodir(7) 🧼✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s6-cleanfifodir fifodir

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so s6-cleanfifodir cleans up fifodir, and lowkey the vibe check here is: that fifodir must belong to the current user. no cap, that's non-negotiable 🙈

what "cleans up" means, exactly? it removes all the stale FIFOs in fifodir. that's it, that's the whole slay 💅

ngl, in normal use you do not need to call s6-cleanfifodir. like, it's not a daily-driver situation. but — and this is the tea 🍵 — stale FIFOs can totally be left behind by s6-ftrigrd(8) processes that got violently killed 💀 so it's genuinely good practice to regularly clean up your fifodirs. think of it as self-care for your filesystem, periodt 🎀

✨ iykyk: violent kills happen, stale FIFOs happen, and that's exactly why this little icon exists. don't skip your fifodir cleanup bestie 🫶
