NAME
     odbcinst - A unixODBC utility for managing configuration files

SYNOPSIS
     odbcinst ACTION OBJECT OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION
     odbcinst  is  a  command-line  utility  allowing  users who develop install
     scripts or packages for ODBC drivers to easily create or remove entries  in
     odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini.

     The  utility  is part of the odbcinst component of unixODBC and complements
     the shared library of the same name (libodbcinst).

OPTIONS
   ACTIONS
     -i     Install a new OBJECT (by adding a section to a configuration file).

     -u     Uninstall an existing OBJECT (by removing a section from a	configu-
	    ration file).

     -q     Query  ODBC  configuration files and print available options for the
	    specified OBJECT.

     -j     Print the current configuration of unixODBC, including paths to con-
	    figuration files.

     -c     Call SQLCreateDataSource.

     -m     Call SQLManageDataSources.

     --version
	    Display the program version.

   OBJECTS
     -d     The specified ACTION affects a driver  (and  thus  the  odbcinst.ini
	    configuration file).

     -s     The  specified  ACTION  affects  a data source (and thus the user or
	    system odbc.ini configuration file).

   OPTIONS
     -f FILEFILE is a template describing the configuration of the installed OB-
	    JECT (only valid with the -i ACTION).

     -r     Act in the same way as for the -f OPTION, but take standard input as
	    the template file.

     -n NAMESpecifies the NAME of the OBJECT.

     -v     Disable all information, warning and error messages.

     -l     The specified data source is system-wide. This option is only  valid
	    when used with the -s OBJECT.

     -h     The  specified  data  source  is  user-specific. This option is only
	    valid when used with the -s OBJECT.

RETURN VALUES
     odbcinst returns zero on success and a non-zero value on failure.

FILES
     /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini
	    Configuration file containing all database driver  definitions.  See
	    odbcinst.ini(5) for more information.

     /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini
	    Configuration file containing system-wide Data Source Name (DSN) de-
	    finitions. See odbc.ini(5) for more information.
