S6-RC-SET-COPY(8)

📦 version 0.7.0.0, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay so this is the System Manager's Manual page for s6-rc-set-copy(8) — page title vibes and all. s6-rc-set-copy is the command, and its one-line name is: make a copy of a set under a different name, in a repository. Obsessed with a clean copy, tbh. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s6-rc-set-copy [-v verbosity] [-r repo] [-f] src dst

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

<pink>s6-rc-set-copy</pink> makes an exact copy of set src and names it dst. It exits 0. That's it, that's the whole main-character move. ✨

🫶 Notes 🫶

  • You can use s6-rc-set-copy to create a dynamic working set — like a scratch copy you can mess with — and then copy it back to its source when you're happy with the changes. Cute, right? 💖

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -v verbosity, --verbosity=verbosity — be more or less verbose. Default is 1, which means error messages and warnings get written to stderr. 0 means only error messages get written. 2 or more adds informational messages. Basically: pick your yap level. 🗣️
  • -r repo, --repository=repo — use the repository in repo, which must exist. Default is /var/lib/s6-rc/repository. Don't just point at a random vibe, bestie — it has to be real. 💀
  • -f, --force — overwrite set dst if it exists. Consent matters, but for filesystems this is the consent flag. 🫡

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

  • 0 — Success. Slay. ✨
  • 1 — Set dst already exists and the -f option has not been given. Not me forgetting -f and getting owned. 😭
  • 100 — Incorrect usage. Read the synopsis, bestie. 📖
  • 102 — Inconsistent repository. The repo is giving messy, not iconic. 💀
  • 111 — System call failed. Tech said no. 🫠
