NAME

       dacsinit - Configure a minimal DACS federation interactively

SYNOPSIS

       dacsinit [-d] [-n] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacsinit command interactively creates a minimal DACS federation and jurisdiction. By default, the
       program uses the default paths that were established when DACS was built and the example paths used by
       dacs.quick(7)[1]. When prompted, typing Return/Enter selects the default value.

       It can also be used to create a configuration for a federation with one very basic jurisdiction based on
       names input to dacsinit. The resulting configuration can then be extended or customized manually.

OPTIONS

       The following options are accepted:

       -d
           Avoid overwriting "real" files by appending a a suffix ("-xxx") to all files installed by this
           program. This is useful for debugging, but you must clean up these bogus files manually.

       -n
           Do not actually do anything, but print the actions that would be done. Can be used with -d.

       --version
           Print version information and exit.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.
