💖 OSMOHLR-DB-TOOL(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section, this is the manual for OsmoHLR-db-tool, aka osmo-hlr-db-tool, and no you did not misread that, those two names are literally the same tool, iykyk 💅

✨ NAME ✨

OsmoHLR-db-tool — it's osmo-hlr-db-tool, that's the whole name, that's the vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

osmo-hlr-db-tool [-l <hlr.db>] [create|import-nitb-db <nitb.db>]

that's it, that's the whole shape of it, slay ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the whole menu of flags and commands, and bestie i am NOT skipping a single one, every crumb is getting eaten 🍓

  • -l, --database db-name — which OsmoHLR database we're using. default is hlr.db. yes, it just assumes that if you say nothing 🫶
  • -h, --help — this text. the one you're looking at. iconic self-reference behavior tbh.
  • -d option, --debug=DMAIN:DDB:DAUC — turn on debugging. note the very specific DMAIN:DDB:DAUC thing, that's the format, don't freestyle it 🙈
  • -s, --disable-color — do NOT print ANSI colors in the log. lowkey a crime but ok, monochrome girlies deserve rights too 💀
  • -T, --timestamp — sticks a timestamp on the front of every single log line. every one. no exceptions ⏰
  • -e, --log-level number — sets a global loglevel, one number to rule them all 👑
  • -U, --db-upgrade — allows HLR database schema upgrades. it's giving "yes i consent to the schema glow-up" ✨
  • -V, --version — prints the version of OsmoHLR-db-tool. cute lil flex 🌈

💜 Commands 💜

  • create — make an empty OsmoHLR database. and here's the lil plot twist: all commands imply this if none exists yet, so it just quietly does the thing for you, main character energy 🎀
  • import-nitb-db <nitb.db> — takes OsmoNITB db's subscribers and adds them into the OsmoHLR db.
⚠️ okay real talk bestie, listen: the import is somewhat lossy. that is NOT a drill 🚨 only these get set: the IMSI, MSISDN, IMEI, nam_cs/ps, 2G auth data and last seen LU. and for the IMEI it uses the most recently associated IMEI from the Equipment table. that's the whole list, nothing else comes along for the ride 😭
