NAME
       lensfun-update-data - update Lensfun's database


SYNOPSIS
       lensfun-update-data


DESCRIPTION
       Lensfun is a library that corrects flaws in photographic images introduced by the lens.  It also contains
       a comprehensive database of cameras and lenses together with their characteristics to be  able  to  apply
       automatic  corrections  of  images  taken  with  these  devices.   Lensfun is used by darktable, digiKam,
       rawstudio, GimpLensfun, UFRaw, and others.

       lensfun-update-data is a command-line program that updates Lensfun's database.  It looks  whether  a  new
       version  is  available  online,  and  if  this is the case, it fetches the latest version and installs it
       locally.  If called as root, the database is installed system-wide, otherwise, it  is  installed  in  the
       user's directory.


FILES
       lensfun-update-data  will  place the fetched database in /var/lib/lensfun-updates/ (if called as root) or
       in ~/.local/share/lensfun/updates/ (otherwise).  If necessary, it will create this directory.   If  there
       is  already a database, it is replaced fully.  If Lensfun detects a database in one of these directories,
       it will use that instead of the default location below /usr/....


DIAGNOSTICS
       lensfun-update-data prints log messages to stdout.

       Exit status:
