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.
