NAME

       gspl-spuconv - dump out GNUspool user permissions to file

SYNOPSIS

       gspl-spuconv [ -D dir ] [ -v n ] [ -e n ] [ -s ] [ -f ] user file outfile

DESCRIPTION

       gspl-spuconv considers a GNUspool spool directory, by default the current directory, takes the user file,
       which is usually spufile or spufile0.0, and generates a shell script file outfile, which if executed,
       would recreate the GNUspool users with the same options.

OPTIONS

       -D directory
               specifies  the  source directory for the users and user file. It can be specified as $SPOOLDIR or
               "${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnuspool}"  etc  and  the  environment  and/or   gnuspool.conf   will   be
               interrogated to interpolate the value of the environment variable given.

               If you use this, don't forget to put single quotes around it thus:

                gspl-spuconv -D '${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnuspool}' ...

               otherwise the shell will try to interpret the $ construct and not gspl-spuconv.

       -e n    Tolerate  n  errors  of the kinds denoted by the other options before giving up trying to convert
               the file.

       -s      Ignore file size errors in the saved user file (up to the number of total errors given by the  -e
               option.

       -f      Ignore format errors (invalid form types etc) in the saved user file.
