10

DESCRIPTION

12       [This man page is generated for the Linux version of smartmontools.  It
13       does not contain info specific to other platforms.]
14
15       update-smart-drivedb  updates   /usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h   or
16       DESTFILE from branches/RELEASE_6_6_DRIVEDB of smartmontools SVN reposi‐
17       tory.
18
19       The tools used for downloading are either curl(1), wget(1), lynx(1), or
20       svn(1).
21
22       [NEW  EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB FEATURE] The downloaded file is
23       verified with OpenPGP/GPG key ID DFD22559.  The  public  key  block  is
24       included in the script.
25
26       The  old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring the
27       differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to drivedb.h.old.
28

OPTIONS

30       -s SMARTCTL
31              Use the smartctl(8) executable at path SMARTCTL for drive  data‐
32              base  syntax  check.  The form '-s -' disables the syntax check.
33              The default is /usr/sbin/smartctl.
34
35       -t TOOL
36              Use TOOL for download.  TOOL is one of: curl wget lynx svn.  The
37              default is the first one found in PATH.
38
39       -u LOCATION
40              Use URL of LOCATION for download.  LOCATION is one of:
41              sf (Sourceforge code browser via HTTPS),
42              svn (SVN repository via HTTPS),
43              svni (SVN repository via HTTP),
44              trac (Trac code browser via HTTPS).
45              The default is svn.
46
47       --trunk
48              Download from SVN trunk.  This requires '--no-verify' unless the
49              trunk      version       is       still       identical       to
50              branches/RELEASE_6_6_DRIVEDB.
51
52       --cacert FILE
53              Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer.
54
55       --capath DIR
56              Use CA certificate files from DIR to verify the peer.
57
58       --insecure
59              Don't  abort  download  if certificate verification fails.  This
60              option is also required if a HTTP  URL  is  selected  with  '-u'
61              option.
62
63       --no-verify
64              Don't verify signature with GnuPG.
65
66       --export-key
67              Print the OpenPGP/GPG public key block.
68
69       --dryrun
70              Print download commands only.
71
72       -v     Verbose output.
