NAME¶
mkcat - create a new GNATS category
SYNOPSIS¶
- mkcat
- [ -d databasename |
--database=databasename ]
[ -h | --help ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Scans the database for any new categories, creating new subdirectories in the
database directory if any are found.
This program is mostly obsolete since directories for categories are
automatically created as necessary, but is left for histerical reasons.
mkcat should be run by the GNATS user (by default
gnats).
OPTIONS¶
- -d, --database
- Specifies the database to be scanned for new categories; if no database is
specified, the database named default is assumed. This option
overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment
variable.
- -h, --help
- Displays a short usage message.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
The
GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to
use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access. If
GNATSDB is not set, the database named
default is used.
