💅 setdasd(8) — like, the DASD flag setter, bestie

okay so picture this: it's the System Manager's Manual, and the main character is setdasd. That's the program. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

setdasd — set or unset DASD device flags. That's it, that's the job, and it does it iconically. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

setdasd [-t 0|1|--timeout=0|1] [-q 0|1|--quiesce=0|1] [-d
devnode|--device=devnode] [-s devpath|--sysfs=devpath] [-p prio|--log-
priority=prio] [-v|--verbose] [-h|--help]

copy it exactly like that, no notes, she's perfect 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so setdasd is a program for setting or unsetting the internal DASD device flags via ioctl. yes, ioctl, the lowkey scary one, but she's got it handled. 😌

right now she supports:

  • setting the 'ABORTIO' flag via the 'BIODASDABORTIO' and 'BIODASDALLOWIO' ioctls 🔥
  • setting the 'QUIESCE' flag via the 'BIODASDQUIESCE' and 'BIODASDRESUME' ioctls ✨

that's the whole feature set. she's not doing extra. she's doing this. periodt.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

setdasd recognizes the following command-line options — and yes, we're going through all of them, because nobody gets left behind in this group chat:

  • -t 0|1, --timeout=0|1 — set or unset the 'ABORTIO' flag. 0 or 1, pick your fighter. 🥊
  • -q 0|1, --quiesce=0|1 — set or unset the 'QUIESCE' flag. calm her down or wake her up, your call. 😴
  • -d devnode, --device=devnode — use the device specified by device node devnode. like, point at the actual thing. 👉💻
  • -s devpath, --sysfs=devpath — use the device specified by sysfs path devpath. the other way to point at the thing. iykyk. 🗂️
  • -h, --help — display setdasd usage information. the "help me help you" option, honestly iconic of her. 🙈
  • -p prio, --log-priority=prio — set logging priority to prio. loud or quiet, you decide. 📢
  • -v, --verbose — increase logging priority. she talks more. we love a chatty queen. 💬
