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.
OPTIONS
–user- Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the
userdatabase location. –local- Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the
localdatabase location. –system- Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the
systemdatabase location. –dir=PATH- Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the custom directory
PATH. –root=PATH- Prefix the database location with the root directory given by "PATH". This is useful when wishing to report paths relative to a chroot environment or equivalent.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status will be 0 if the requested path was reported, or 1 if the arguments were invalid.
