NAME
osinfo-db-export - Export to a osinfo database archive
SYNOPSIS
osinfo-db-export [
OPTIONS...] [
ARCHIVE-FILE]
DESCRIPTION
The
osinfo-db-export tool will create an osinfo database
archive file containing the content from one of the standard
local database locations:
- 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.
If no ARCHIVE-FILE path is given, an automatically generated
filename will be used, taking the format osinfo-db-$VERSION.tar.xz.
