.SH NAME
osinfo\-db\-import \- Import an osinfo database archive
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
osinfo-db-import [OPTIONS...] [ARCHIVE\-FILE]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBosinfo-db-import\fR tool will take an osinfo database
archive and extract its contents into one of the standard
database locations on the current host:
.IP \fBsystem\fR 1
.IX Item "system"
This is the primary system-wide database location, intended
for use by operating system vendors distributing database
files in the native package format.
.IP \fBlocal\fR 1
.IX Item "local"
This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended
for use by system administrators wishing to provide an updated
database for all users.
.IP \fBuser\fR 1
.IX Item "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.
.PP
If run by a privileged account (ie root), the \fBlocal\fR database
location will be used by default, otherwise the \fBuser\fR location
will be used.
.PP
When passing a non local ARCHIVE-FILE, only http:// and https://
protocols are supported.
.PP
With no ARCHIVE-FILE, or when ARCHIVE-FILE is \-, read standard
input.
