okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for xt-guess-suite-and-mirror, part of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — yes she's section 8, yes she's iconic, let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xt-guess-suite-and-mirror — Tries to guess the most suitable suite and mirror for DomUs on Debian and Ubuntu Dom0s.

like... she literally just looks at what your Dom0 is vibing with and tells you what your DomU should be using. no cap. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  --suite                Show suite
  --mirror               Show mirror
  --sources-list=<file>  Parse this file as sources.list

  Shows both if no parameter is given.

  Help Options:

   --help       Show the help information for this script.
   --manual     Show the manual for this script.
   --version    Show the version number and exit.

so basically: ask for the suite, ask for the mirror, or hand her a specific file to read like it's sources.list. if you give her no parameter at all, she just shows you both, because she's generous like that 💅

and then the help girlies:

• --help — Show the help information for this script.
• --manual — Show the manual for this script. (hi, you're here rn 🙈)
• --version — Show the version number and exit. she tells you who she is and dips ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

xt-guess-suite-and-mirror tries to find the mirror and suite the Xen Dom0 is currently using and returns them in a way suitable for xen-create-image(1) or the backticks feature in xen-tools.conf.

fr fr, that's the whole plot. she sniffs out what mirror + suite your Dom0 is running, and then serves it up in exactly the format xen-create-image(1) wants, or in whatever your backticks feature in xen-tools.conf is hungry for. plug-and-play energy. obsessed. 💖
