The user-db program
user-db compiles the source directories of the user configuration directory into the compiled format. This format can then be used by init and user-rc to set up and control a user supervision tree.
user-db is a wrapper around the more general compile-db making it target the user supervision tree.
Interface
user-db
- user-db takes no arguments.
-
It reads the
USERenvironment variable, if it is empty it exits 100. -
It reads the
USERTREEenvironment variable, if it is empty it exits 100. -
It reads the
HOMEenvironment variable, if it is empty it exits 100. - It runs compile-db supplementing it the correct user configuration directory and user runtime directory.
Exit codes
- 100 if a critical environment variable is missing.
- Since user-db is a wrapper around compile-db, it behaves exactly like it.
Options
- There are no options to user-db.
