NAME

osinfo-db-import - Import an osinfo database archive

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The osinfo-db-import tool will take an osinfo database archive and extract its contents into one of the standard database locations on the current host:

system: This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by operating system vendors distributing database files in the native package format.
local: This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use by system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for all users.
user: This is the user private database location, intended for use by unprivileged local users wishing to provide applications they use with an updated database.

If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local database location will be used by default, otherwise the user location will be used.

When passing a non local ARCHIVE-FILE, only http:// and https:// protocols are supported.

With no ARCHIVE-FILE, or when ARCHIVE-FILE is -, read standard input.

OPTIONS

--user: Override the default behaviour to force installation into the user database location.
--local: Override the default behaviour to force installation into the local database location.
--system: Override the default behaviour to force installation into the system database location.
--dir=PATH: Override the default behaviour to force installation into the custom directory PATH.
--root=PATH: Prefix the installation location with the root directory given by "PATH". This is useful when wishing to install into a chroot environment or equivalent.
--latest: Downloads the latest osinfo-db release from libosinfo's official releases website and installs it in the desired location. The latest osinfo-db release is only downloaded and installed when it's newer than the one installed in the desired location.
-v, --verbose: Display verbose progress information when installing files

EXIT STATUS

The exit status will be 0 if all files were installed successfully, or 1 if at least one file could not be installed.
