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.

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.

       -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.
