osinfo-db-path - Man Page

osinfo-db-path [Options...]

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.

--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.

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