💖 greenbone-feed-sync 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the System Manager's Manual, section 8, and its whole name is greenbone-feed-sync — it's the Greenbone Vulnerability Manager data sync script. iykyk. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

greenbone-feed-sync — the Greenbone Vulnerability Manager data sync script. that's it, that's the name, she's iconic for it 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

she updates the data from the feed server. the data being one of CERT, SCAP or GVMD_DATA. that's the whole vibe: sync the feeds, stay fresh, no cap. ✨

here's every flag she takes, and yes we're doing all of them, don't skip 🫶

  • --describe — shows you the current feed info. like a lil status check-in 💖
  • --feedversion — shows the version of this feed. very "what version are we on" of her 🎀
  • --help — displays this help. the classic. the moment you need her most 🙈
  • --identify — displays information. identity reveal, main character energy 👑
  • --selftest — performs a self-test. she's checking herself, as she should 💅
  • --type <TYPE> — choose the type of data to sync. your options are CERT, SCAP or GVMD_DATA — pick one, bestie, <TYPE> is the placeholder so swap in the real one 🦋
  • --version — displays the version. the "who even am i" flag ✨
ngl, there's no --all and there's no --quiet here, so don't come for me. what you see is what she ships. 😭
