| | 18 | .SH NAME |
| | 19 | disorder\-dump \- DisOrder dump/undump tool |
| | 20 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| | 21 | .B disorder\-dump |
| | 22 | .RI [ OPTIONS ] |
| | 23 | .BR \-\-dump | \-\-undump |
| | 24 | .I PATH |
| | 25 | .br |
| | 26 | .B disorder\-dump |
| | 27 | .RI [ OPTIONS ] |
| | 28 | .BR \-\-recompute\-aliases |
| | 29 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| | 30 | .B disorder\-dump |
| | 31 | is used to dump and restore preferences data. |
| | 32 | .SH OPTIONS |
| | 33 | .TP |
| | 34 | .B \-\-dump |
| | 35 | Write preferences data to \fIPATH\fR. |
| | 36 | This can safely be used whether or not the server is running. |
| | 37 | .TP |
| | 38 | .B \-\-undump |
| | 39 | Read preferences data from \fIPATH\fR, replacing (unrecoverably) the |
| | 40 | current settings. |
| | 41 | This should normally only be done while the server is not running. |
| | 42 | .IP |
| | 43 | If the server is running then it may hang while the undump completes. |
| | 44 | .TP |
| | 45 | .B \-\-recover |
| | 46 | Perform database recovery at startup. |
| | 47 | The server should not be running if this option is used. |
| | 48 | .TP |
| | 49 | .B \-\-recompute\-aliases |
| | 50 | Recompute aliases without dumping or undumping the databases. |
| | 51 | Under normal circumstances this is never necessary. |
| | 52 | .TP |
| | 53 | .B \-\-remove\-pathless |
| | 54 | Remove tracks with no associated path when undumping or when |
| | 55 | recomputing aliases. |
| | 56 | In normal use such tracks are all aliases. |
| | 57 | .TP |
| | 58 | .B \-\-config \fIPATH\fR, \fB\-c \fIPATH |
| | 59 | Set the configuration file. |
| | 60 | The default is |
| | 61 | .IR /etc/disorder/config . |
| | 62 | .TP |
| | 63 | .B \-\-no\-setuid |
| | 64 | Do not change UID. |
| | 65 | .TP |
| | 66 | .B \-\-debug\fR |
| | 67 | Enable debugging. |
| | 68 | .TP |
| | 69 | .B \-\-help\fR, \fB\-h |
| | 70 | Display a usage message. |
| | 71 | .TP |
| | 72 | .B \-\-version\fR, \fB\-V |
| | 73 | Display version number. |
| | 74 | .SH NOTES |
| | 75 | This program might be used for a number of purposes: |
| | 76 | .TP 2 |
| | 77 | .B . |
| | 78 | Taking a backup of the non-regeneratable parts of DisOrder's databases. |
| | 79 | .TP |
| | 80 | .B . |
| | 81 | Indoctrinating one DisOrder server with the preference values of |
| | 82 | another. |
| | 83 | .PP |
| | 84 | The output file is versioned, so versions produced from a future |
| | 85 | version of DisOrder may be rejected by \fB\-\-undump\fR. |
| | 86 | It has an end marker so truncated inputs will also be rejected. |
| | 87 | .PP |
| | 88 | The input or output file must be a regular file, as it may be rewound |
| | 89 | and re-read or re-written multiple times. |
| | 90 | .PP |
| | 91 | The dump or undump operation is carried out inside a single |
| | 92 | transaction, so it should seem atomic from the point of view of |
| | 93 | anything else accessing the databases. |
| | 94 | .PP |
| | 95 | The server performs normal database recovery on startup. |
| | 96 | However if the database needs normal recovery before an undump can succeed and |
| | 97 | you don't want to start the server for some reason then the |
| | 98 | .B \-\-recover |
| | 99 | operation is available for this purpose. |
| | 100 | No other process should be accessing the database at the time. |
| | 101 | .PP |
| | 102 | DisOrder does not currently support catastrophic recovery. |
| | 103 | .PP |
| | 104 | This program requires write access to DisOrder's databases. |
| | 105 | Therefore it should be run as the same user as the server or as root. |
| | 106 | .PP |
| | 107 | If a restore is done as root then it will automatically change to the |
| | 108 | server user, so that the new files end up with the right ownership. |
| | 109 | This can be suppressed with the \fB\-\-no\-setuid\fR option. |
| | 110 | .SH FILES |
| | 111 | .TP |
