		<h1>The user-db program</h1>
		<p>
			user-db compiles the
			<a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc-compile.html#source">source directories</a>
			of the
			<a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#user">user configuration directory</a>
			into the <em>compiled</em> format.
			This format can then be used by init and
			<a href="./user-rc.html">user-rc</a>
			to set up and control a
			<a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/supervisiontree.html#user">user supervision tree</a>.
		</p>
		<p>
			user-db is a wrapper around the more general
			<a href="./compile-db.html">compile-db</a>
			making it target the user supervision tree.
		</p>
		<h2>Interface</h2>
		<pre>     user-db</pre>
		<ul>
			<li>
    			user-db takes no arguments.
			</li>
			<li>
    			It reads the <code>USER</code> environment variable,
				if it is empty it exits 100.
			</li>
			<li>
    			It reads the <code>USERTREE</code> environment variable,
				if it is empty it exits 100.
			</li>
			<li>
    			It reads the <code>HOME</code> environment variable,
				if it is empty it exits 100.
			</li>
			<li>
    			It runs compile-db supplementing it the correct
				<a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#user">user configuration directory</a>
				and
				<a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/rundir.html#user">user runtime directory</a>.
			</li>
		</ul>
		<h2>Exit codes</h2>
		<ul>
			<li>
    			100 if a critical environment variable is missing.
			</li>
			<li>
    			Since user-db is a wrapper around compile-db, it
				<a href="./compile-db.html">behaves exactly like it</a>.
			</li>
		</ul>
		<h2>Options</h2>
		<ul>
			<li>
    			There are no options to user-db.
			</li>
		</ul>
