9 osinfo-db-path [OPTIONS...]
10
12 The osinfo-db-path tool will report the paths associated with the
13 standard osinfo database locations:
14
15 system
16 This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by
17 operating system vendors distributing database files in the native
18 package format.
19
20 local
21 This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use
22 by system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for
23 all users.
24
25 user
26 This is the user private database location, intended for use by
27 unprivileged local users wishing to provide applications they use with
28 an updated database.
29
30 If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local database location
31 will be reported by default, otherwise the user location will be
32 reported.
33
35 --user Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the user
36 database location.
37
38 --local Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the local
39 database location.
40
41 --system
42 Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the system
43 database location.
44
45 --dir=PATH
46 Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the custom
47 directory PATH.
48
49 --root=PATH
50 Prefix the database location with the root directory given by
51 "PATH". This is useful when wishing to report paths relative to
52 a chroot environment or equivalent.
53
55 The exit status will be 0 if the requested path was reported, or 1 if
56 the arguments were invalid.
