cvegenversdat(1)	      cvegenversdat Manual		cvegenversdat(1)

NAME
     cvegenversdat - Generate version matching rules for passed on files

SYNOPSIS
     <filelist> | cvegenversdat <packagename> <packageversion> <conffile>
     [breakon]

DESCRIPTION
     The cvegenversdat script is a distribution-agnostic script that attempts to
     generate  version	matching  rules for the files fed to it through standard
     input. It is commonly called  from  a  distribution-specific  script  (like
     cverules_gentoo).

USAGE
   COMMAND USAGE
     The command requires the following arguments to be set:

     *
       packagename is the name of the package (like "gzip")

     *
       packageversion is the (upstream) version of the tool, not of the distrib-
       ution (so "1.4" rather than "1.4-r1" or "1.4-yourdistro-1")

     *
       conffile     is	   the	   cvechecker	  configuration    file    (like
       "/etc/cvechecker.conf")

     *
       breakon (literally) tells the script to stop the moment a  match  is  al-
       ready  found  within  the  existing  cvechecker	database.   Without  the
       "breakon" string, the script will scan all passed files, even if a few of
       them are already known to cvechecker.

     The script should not be called by end users but is rather a script  to  be
     called by the distribution-specific scripts like cverules_gentoo.
