NAME
osinfo-db-import - Import an osinfo database archive
SYNOPSIS
osinfo-db-import [
OPTIONS...] [
ARCHIVE-FILE]
DESCRIPTION
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.
When passing a non local ARCHIVE-FILE, only http:// and https://
protocols are supported.
With no ARCHIVE-FILE, or when ARCHIVE-FILE is -, read standard
input.
