NAME
update-smart-drivedb - update smartmontools drive database
SYNOPSIS
update-smart-drivedb [
OPTIONS] [
DESTFILE]
DESCRIPTION
[This man page is generated for the Solaris version of smartmontools.
It does not contain info specific to other platforms.]
update-smart-drivedb updates
/usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h or
DESTFILE from branches/RELEASE_7_3_DRIVEDB of smartmontools SVN
repository.
The tools used for downloading are either
curl(1),
wget(1),
lynx(1),
or
svn(1).
The downloaded file is verified with OpenPGP/GPG key ID 721042C5.
The public key block is included in the script.
The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring
the differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to
drivedb.h.old.
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE] The old file is
also kept if the downloaded file reports an older version on the same
branch. This could be overridden with the '--force' option. If the
branch version differs, the file is always updated.
OPTIONS
-s SMARTCTL, --smartctl SMARTCTL Use the
smartctl(8) executable at path SMARTCTL for drive
database syntax check. The form '-s -' disables the syntax
check. The default is
/usr/sbin/smartctl.
-t [DIR/]TOOL, --tool [DIR/]TOOL Use TOOL for download. TOOL is one of:
curl wget lynx svn.
The default is the first one found in PATH.
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE] A DIR
could also be specified. The plain TOOL name must then begin
with any of the above names.
-u LOCATION, --url-of LOCATION Use URL of LOCATION for download. LOCATION is one of:
github (GitHub mirror of SVN repository),
sf (Sourceforge code browser),
svn (SVN repository),
svni (SVN repository via HTTP instead of HTTPS),
trac (Trac code browser).
The default is
svn.
--url URL [NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE] Download
from URL. A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature with '.raw.asc'
extension must also exist unless '--no-verify' is also
specified.
--file FILE [NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE] Copy from
local FILE. A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature 'FILE.raw.asc' must
also exist unless '--no-verify' is also specified.
--trunk Download from SVN trunk. This requires '--no-verify' because
the trunk versions are not signed.
--branch X.Y Download from branches/RELEASE_
X_
Y_DRIVEDB. This also selects
the OpenPGP/GPG key for older branches (5.40 to 6.6: Key ID
DFD22559).
--cacert FILE Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer.
--capath DIR Use CA certificate files from DIR to verify the peer.
--insecure Don't abort download if certificate verification fails. This
option is also required if a HTTP URL is selected with '-u'
option.
--no-verify Don't verify signature with GnuPG.
--force [NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE] Allow
downgrades. By default, the database is not replaced with an
older version of the same branch.
--export-key Print the OpenPGP/GPG public key block.
--dryrun Print download commands only.
-q, --quiet [NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE] Suppress
info messages.
-v, --verbose Verbose output.
-h, --help Print help text.

Download the database from SVN trunk to current directory:
$ update-smart-drivedb --trunk --no-verify -s - -u trac drivedb-trunk.h
