NAME

6       snake-tree -- Query or modifiy a SNAKE tree database
7

SYNOPSIS

9       snake-tree [options] [command] [command-options ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The snake-tree utility is used to query or modify SNAKE tree
13       information.  Unless specified, snake-tree will operate on a local
14       database of trees.
15
16       command is one of:
17
18       ·   list [TREESPEC]
19
20       ·   info [URI|TREEID|all] [...]
21
22       ·   add [URI] [...]
23
24       ·   check [URI|TREEID|all] [...]
25
26       ·   update [TREEID|all] [...]
27
28       ·   remove [URI|TREEID|all] [...]
29
30       Unless the --help or -h option is given, one of the above commands must
31       be present.
32

GENERAL OPTIONS

34       The following command line options are permitted.
35
36       -h, --help
37           Help; display a help message and then quit.
38
39       -v, --verbose
40           Verbose; output more information.
41
42       -s, --server
43           Server; rather than query the local system, communicate with a
44           snake-server
45
46       -p, --port
47           Port; Use the specified port when communicating with the snake-
48           server (defaults to 2903).

URI SYNTAX

51       snake-tree understands http, ftp, and nfs URI's.  Some examples of
52       valid URI's might be:
53
54       snake-tree add
55       http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os
56           Add the tree referenced by the given URI.
57
58       snake-tree check
59       ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/ppc/os
60           Check the validity of the given URI.
61
62       snake-tree update
63       nfs:tree-server.localdomain:/path/to/FedoraCore/6/i386/os
64           Update cached tree information using the given URI.  Note, use of
65           nfs URI's requires that both the client and server will already
66           have read access to that volume.
67

TREEID SYNTAX

69       Several snake-tree commands accept a TREEID as an argument.  A TREEID
70       is typically the timestamp recorded in the .treeinfo file.  This
71       timestamp records when the tree was composed and is considered a unique
72       identifier.  To find a list of valid TREEID's hosted on your snake-
73       server, use the snake-tree list command.
74

TREESPEC SYNTAX

76       When querying available trees, the list and info commands offer several
77       filters to limit your results.  The available filters are typically the
78       contents of a .treeinfo file, and include:
79
80       ·   family
81
82       ·   time
83
84       ·   variant
85
86       ·   uri
87
88       ·   version
89
90       ·   arch
91
92       ·   id
93
94       Any arguments not matching the above filters will be ignored. sample
95       list command might look like:
96
97       snake-tree list family=Fedora arch=i386 version=8
98           List all Fedora 8 i386 trees
99
100       snake-tree list family="Red Hat Enterprise Linux" arch=ppc
101           List all "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" ppc trees
102
103       snake-tree info
104       uri=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os
105           Provide detailed information about the tree containing the given
106           URI.
