NAME

osinfo-db-path - Report database locations

SYNOPSIS

osinfo-db-path [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

The osinfo-db-path tool will report the paths associated with the standard osinfo database locations:

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 reported by default, otherwise the user location will be reported.

OPTIONS

--user: Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the user database location.
--local: Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the local database location.
--system: Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the system database location.
--dir=PATH: Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the custom directory PATH.
--root=PATH: Prefix the database location with the root directory given by "PATH". This is useful when wishing to report paths relative to a chroot environment or equivalent.

EXIT STATUS

The exit status will be 0 if the requested path was reported, or 1 if the arguments were invalid.
