NAME
osinfo-db-path - Report database locations
SYNOPSIS
osinfo-db-path [
OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
The
osinfo-db-path tool will report the paths associated
with the standard osinfo 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 reported by default, otherwise the user location
will be reported.
