✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to SQLITEREPO_C(8) 💖 — this is the manual for sqliterepo_c. It does one iconic thing: Generate sqlite db files for a repository in rpm-md format. That's the whole vibe. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sqliterepo_c [options] <repo_directory>

No cap, that's the shape: you give it a repo_directory, you sprinkle in [options], and it goes to work. 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -V, --version — show program's version number and exit. Literally just "who am I?" and then bye. ✨
  • -q, --quiet — run quietly. Shhh, main character mode but silent. 🤫
  • -v, --verbose — run verbosely. Give me all the tea, every detail. 🫖
  • -f, --force — overwrite existing DBs. It's giving "move, I'm busy." 🔥
  • --keep-old — do not remove old DBs. Use only with combination with --force. Bestie, do not use this solo — it needs --force as its plus-one. 🫶
  • --xz — use xz for repodata compression. Compression but make it xz. ✨
  • --compress-type <compress_type> — which compression type to use. You pick the compression vibe. 🎀
  • --checksum <checksum_type> — which checksum type to use in repomd.xml for sqlite DBs. Checksum tea for the repomd.xml. 💙
  • --local-sqlite — generate sqlite DBs locally (into a directory for temporary files). Sometimes sqlite has trouble generating DBs on an NFS mount, so use this option in such cases. This option could lead to a higher memory consumption if TMPDIR is set to /tmp or not set at all, because then the /tmp is used and /tmp dir is often a ramdisk. ⚠️💀

That's the whole page, bestie. No extra lore, no invented flags, just the facts with sparkle. 💖
