✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page? it documents the virtuoso-t command briefly. that's the vibe. quick little overview, nothing more. 🫶

and here's the tea 🍓: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. not one. instead, it has documentation in the 'doc' VAD package. so if you're like "where's the rest of it??" — it's over there, bestie.

virtuoso-t is the OpenLink Virtuoso server. that's her. that's the whole thing.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's a lil summary of the options 💅 for a complete description you gotta go see the 'doc' VAD package. forewarning: this list is the appetizer, not the meal.

• +foreground — run in the foreground, so she stays right there in your terminal instead of slipping into the background 🙈
• +configfile — use an alternate configuration file (you're swapping the config, not the vibe)
• +no-checkpoint — do not checkpoint on startup. no checkpointing, none, zero 🚫
• +checkpoint-only — exit as soon as the checkpoint on startup is complete. in and out, done, bye 💨
• +backup-dump — dump database into the transaction log, then exit
• +crash-dump — dump an inconsistent database into the transaction log, then exit. yep, inconsistent, that's literally what it says 💀
• +crash-dump-data-ini — specify the DB ini to use for reading the data to dump
• +restore-crash-dump — restore from a crash-dump
• +wait — wait for background initialization to complete. she's patient. be like her. ⏳
• +mode — specify mode options for server startup (onbalr)
• +dumpkeys — specify key id(s) to dump on crash dump (default : all)
• +restore-backup — default backup directories
• +backup-dirs — run in the foreground
• +debug — Show additional debugging info 🔍
• +pwdold — Old DBA password
• +pwddba — New DBA password
• +pwddav — New DAV password

⚠️ ok real talk for a sec: a couple of these one-liners look copy-pasted from each other (+backup-dirs saying "run in the foreground" is giving me major side-eye 😭). I'm not fixing them, I'm not guessing, I'm just handing them to you exactly how they were handed to me. that's the rule. periodt.

✨ FILES ✨

• /etc/virtuoso/virtuoso.ini — The configuration file to control the behaviour of the main instance of virtuoso-t. this is the file. main character energy, fr fr 👑

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

The programs are documented fully by the 'doc' VAD package. seriously, go read it, that's where the real lore lives 📚✨
