btt_xml2db(8)

NAME

btt_xml2db - Import infohash records from an XML document into a tracker database

SYNOPSIS

    btt_xml2db [--master] [--verbose] backup.xml /path/to/tracker

DESCRIPTION

btt_xml2db reads the XML document specified on the commandline and imports any "Infohash" records found into a mod_bt database. If any of the specified infohashes already exist in the tracker database, they will be replaced. The XML document should be one that was generated with btt_db2xml.

The "Peers", "Seeds", and "Shields" counts from the XML document are discarded; these fields are instead set to the counts of who is actually connected to the tracker, or "0" if this is a new infohash.

btt_xml2db can be used to create a new tracker database, like so:

    mkdir /tmp/new_database
    btt_xml2db --master --verbose backup.xml /tmp/new_database

SWITCHES

--master

Connect to the database as it's master; you should use this option only if no other processes are connected to the database.

--verbose

Print the infohash string and filename of each infohash as it's being inserted into the database.

--help

Displays brief usage instructions.

BUGS

The path to the tracker must be an absolute path, relative paths are not permitted. This is a limitation of Berkeley DB that will be addressed in a future version.
