DESCRIPTION

14       odbcinst  is  a  command  line tool which has been created for allowing
15       people who are developing the install scripts/RPMs for  Drivers  to  be
16       able to easily create/remove entries in odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. This
17       command line tool is a complement to the shared  library  of  the  same
18       name (libodbcinst.so). This tool is a part of the odbcinst component of
19       unixODBC.
