GSPL-SPUCONV(8)
NAME
gspl-spuconv - dump out GNUspool user permissions to file
SYNOPSIS
gspl-spuconv [ -D dir ] [ -v n ] [ -e n ] [ -s ] [ -f ] user file outfile
DESCRIPTION
gspl-spuconv considers a GNUspool spool directory, by default the current directory, takes the user file, which is usually spufile or spufile0.0, and generates a shell script file outfile, which if executed, would recreate the GNUspool users with the same options.
OPTIONS
- -D directory
- specifies the source directory for the users and user file. It
can be specified as $SPOOLDIR or
"${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnuspool}" etc and the environment
and/or gnuspool.conf will be interrogated to interpolate the value of the environment variable given. - If you use this, don't forget to put single quotes around it
thus:
gspl-spuconv -D '${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnuspool}' ... - otherwise the shell will try to interpret the $ construct and
not gspl-spuconv. - -e n Tolerate n errors of the kinds denoted by the other options
- before giving up trying to convert the file.
- -s Ignore file size errors in the saved user file (up to the
- number of total errors given by the -e option.
- -f Ignore format errors (invalid form types etc) in the saved user
- file.
