# lr\_check\_superservice(1)

map Lire service to Lire superservice

## NAME

lr\_check\_superservice - map Lire service to Lire superservice

## SYNOPSIS

**lr\_check\_superservice** *service* **lr\_check\_superservice** **-l**

## DESCRIPTION

**lr\_check\_superservice** takes a Lire service as argument, and returns the *superservice* this *service* belongs to.  In case the service is unknown, a userfriendly errormessage is given.

When called with the **-l** option, this script prints all supported superservices.

You might prefer the [**lr\_log2report**(1)](/lr_log2report/1.md) --help options to list available superservices: this command creates a more human-friendly format of the list.

## EXAMPLE

Call this script in shell scripts as

```
 LR_SERVICE="$1"
 LR_SUPERSERVICE=`lr_check_superservice "$LR_SERVICE" || true`
 if test -z "$LR_SUPERSERVICE"
 then
    echo >&2 "$tag err lr_check_superservice failed"
    exit 1
 fi
 # now go using $LR_SUPERSERVICE
```
