ykval-import(1)

💖 ykval-import — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is ykval-import(1), a General Commands Manual page, and she is serving utility. if you're here you probably have a Yubikey Info dump burning a hole in your terminal and you need it, like, in the database. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ykval-import — she imports Yubikey Info data into the yubikey-val server. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ykval-import

no flags. no arguments. no drama. she reads from stdin and that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: ykval-import reads yubikey-val Yubikey Info data straight from stdin and imports it into the yubikey-val servers database. it's giving "glow up for your database," fr fr.

⚠️ important bestie: that data should have previously been exported using ykval-export. like, don't just hand her random garbage from stdin and expect main character results. the pipeline is ykval-export → ykval-import, and that's the canon order, no cap 👑

database configuration is read from /etc/yubico/val/ykval-config.php — that's where she finds out which database she's talking to. yes, the config lives there, that's the whole path, don't touch it, just vibe 🧚
