NAME

6       cvegenversdat - Generate version matching rules for passed on files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       <filelist> | cvegenversdat <packagename> <packageversion> <conffile>
10       [breakon]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The cvegenversdat script is a  distribution-agnostic  script  that  at‐
14       tempts  to  generate  version  matching  rules  for the files fed to it
15       through standard input. It is commonly called from a  distribution-spe‐
16       cific script (like cverules_gentoo).
17

USAGE

19   COMMAND USAGE
20       The command requires the following arguments to be set:
21
22       · packagename is the name of the package (like "gzip")
23
24       · packageversion is the (upstream) version of the tool, not of the dis‐
25         tribution (so "1.4" rather than "1.4-r1" or "1.4-yourdistro-1")
26
27       · conffile is the cvechecker configuration file  (like  "/etc/cvecheck‐
28         er.conf")
29
30       · breakon  (literally)  tells  the script to stop the moment a match is
31         already found within the existing cvechecker database.   Without  the
32         "breakon"  string,  the  script will scan all passed files, even if a
33         few of them are already known to cvechecker.
34
35       The script should not be called by end users but is rather a script  to
36       be called by the distribution-specific scripts like cverules_gentoo.
