WorldForge update tool

## NAME

wfut - WorldForge update tool

## SYNOPSIS

**wfut** \[ options \] -u *channel\_name*

## DESCRIPTION

wfut is a command-line update tool intended for use with WorldForge systems. It provides the client side update functionality. Server-side functionality is still at present only available in the Java version of WFUT.

## OPTIONS

- **-u** *channel\_name***, --update=***channel\_name*

  Update the channel *channel\_name.* This can be a period, ., if the current directory (or prefix) is the full path to a channel.

- **-p** *local\_root***, --prefix=***local\_root*

  Use the directory *local\_root* instead of the current working directory to search for local updates.

- **-s** *system\_root***, --system=***system\_root*

  Look in *system\_root* for read-only / package installed channel data.

- **-S** *server\_root***, --server=***server\_root*

  Use *server\_root* as the base URL on the server in which channels are kept.

## EXAMPLES

The following command will update the channel *sear-media.* This will look for a directory called sear-media in $HOME/.wfut/, or create one if necessary and download updates into there. It will also look in /usr/share/wfut/sear-media for existing files.

wfut -s /usr/share/wfut/ -p $HOME/.wfut/ -u sear-media

## NOTES

wfut uses curl internally.
