osinfo-db-import - Import an osinfo database archive
osinfo-db-import [OPTIONS...] ARCHIVE-FILE
The osinfo-db-import tool will take an osinfo database
archive and extract its contents into one of the standard database locations
on the current host:
- system
- This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by
operating system vendors distributing database files in the native package
format.
- local
- This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use by
system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for all
users.
- user
- This is the user private database location, intended for use by
unprivileged local users wishing to provide applications they use with an
updated database.
If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local
database location will be used by default, otherwise the user
location will be used.
- --user
- Override the default behaviour to force installation into the user
database location.
- --local
- Override the default behaviour to force installation into the local
database location.
- --system
- Override the default behaviour to force installation into the
system database location.
- --dir=PATH
- Override the default behaviour to force installation into the custom
directory PATH.
- --root=PATH
- Prefix the installation location with the root directory given by
"PATH". This is useful when wishing to
install into a chroot environment or equivalent.
- -v, --verbose
- Display verbose progress information when installing files
The exit status will be 0 if all files were installed
successfully, or 1 if at least one file could not be installed.
