NAME

gnunet-update - a tool to update GNUnet

SYNOPSIS

gnunet-update [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

gnunet-update updates gnunets databases after software updates that change the database format.

-c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME

load config file (default: /etc/gnunet.conf)

-g SECTION:ENTRY, --get=SECTION:ENTRY

print the value from the configuration in section SECTION under entry ENTRY. Use :ENTRY to access the global section.

-h, --help

print help page

-L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL

Change the loglevel. Possible values for LOGLEVEL are NOTHING, FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, STATUS and DEBUG. Note that options in the configuration file take precedence over this option (the argument will be ignored in that case).

-U, --client

run in client mode (required to get values from the client configuration). This option must be used only together with the -g option.

-u USER, --user=USER

run as user USER (and if available as group USER). Note that to use this option, you will probably have to start gnunet-update as root. It is typically better to directly start gnunet-update as that user instead.

-v, --version

print the version number

-V --verbose

Be verbose.

NOTES

gnunet-update was introduced in version 0.6.3. Updates from much earlier versions may not be handled properly by the tool. Always consult the UPDATING file in the GNUnet distribution for the necessary update procedure.
