16 update-smart-drivedb updates /usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h or

19 tory.
20 The tools used for downloading are either curl(1), wget(1), lynx(1), or

23 The downloaded file is verified with OpenPGP/GPG key ID 721042C5. The
25 public key block is included in the script.
26 The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring the
28 differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to drivedb.h.old.
