osinfo-db-import: Import an osinfo database archive

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.

EXIT STATUS

The exit status will be 0 if all files were installed successfully, or 1 if at least one file could not be installed.
