getSchema(1)

✨ getSchema ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for getSchema from the General Commands Manual β€” and yes it's a whole vibe πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

getSchema β€” the script that goes and downloads the DMTF CIM Schema for the Small-Footprint CIM Broker (sfcb). she fetches. she installs. she slays. πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

getSchema [-f] schemadir

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so getSchema is a little script that automatically downloads and installs the latest CIM Schema straight from the DMTF website. iconic behaviour, honestly.

why do we care? because the Small-Footprint CIM Broker (sfcb) needs the CIM Schema in order to install and register new classes. no schema, no class registration, no main character energy. 🫢

and how does she get it? getSchema uses curl to fetch the CIM Schema tarball. that's the whole trick. lowkey genius.


✨ OPTIONS ✨

the supported command line options, bestie:

  • schemadir β€” the path where the CIM Schema tarball gets downloaded and where all the CIM classes get extracted. the default is /usr/share/sfcb πŸ’«
  • -f β€” the force option. without it, you'll get prompted if there's already an existing schema sitting in the target schemadir. set -f and she'll just reinstall the new CIM Schema without asking you anything. no questions, no waiting, periodt. πŸ’…

🧚 FILES 🧚

  • /usr/share/sfcb/getSchema.sh β€” the getSchema script itself.
  • /usr/share/sfcb/CIM/CIM_Schema.mof β€” the CIM Schema.

⭐ PREQUISITES ⭐

requires curl. that's it. that's the whole list. go install curl if you haven't, bestie 😭
