NAME
     osinfo-db-path - Report database locations

SYNOPSIS
     osinfo-db-path [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION
     The osinfo-db-path tool will report the paths associated with the standard
     osinfo database locations:

     system
      This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by op-
      erating system vendors distributing database files in the native package
      format.

     local
      This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use by
      system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for all
      users.

     user
      This is the user private database location, intended for use by unprivi-
      leged local users wishing to provide applications they use with an updated
      database.

     If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local database location will
     be reported by default, otherwise the user location will be reported.

OPTIONS
     --user  Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the user data-
	     base location.

     --local Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the local
	     database location.

     --systemOverride the default behaviour to force reporting of the system
	     database location.

     --dir=PATH
	     Override the default behaviour to force reporting of the custom di-
	     rectory PATH.

     --root=PATH
	     Prefix the database location with the root directory given by
	     "PATH". This is useful when wishing to report paths relative to a
	     chroot environment or equivalent.

EXIT STATUS
     The exit status will be 0 if the requested path was reported, or 1 if the
     arguments were invalid.
