7

SYNOPSIS

9       osinfo-db-import [OPTIONS...] ARCHIVE-FILE
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The osinfo-db-import tool will take an osinfo database archive and
13       extract its contents into one of the standard database locations on the
14       current host:
15
16       system
17        This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by
18        operating system vendors distributing database files in the native
19        package format.
20
21       local
22        This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use
23        by system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for
24        all users.
25
26       user
27        This is the user private database location, intended for use by
28        unprivileged local users wishing to provide applications they use with
29        an updated database.
30
31       If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local database location
32       will be used by default, otherwise the user location will be used.
