bionic (8) mkdb.8.gz

Provided by: gnats_4.1.0-5_amd64 bug

NAME

       mkdb - create a new GNATS database

SYNOPSIS

       mkdb databasename

DESCRIPTION

       Looks up databasename in the GNATS databases file and creates a database in the location specified there.
       mkdb  creates  the  directory  and  populates  it  with  a  set  of  default  files   copied   from   the
       /usr/share/gnats/defaults directory.

       Note the implications of this: an entry in databases must be created before mkdb is run.

       The command should be run as the GNATS user, by default gnats.

OPTIONS

       databasename
              Specifies the name of the database to be created.
