UFDBUPDATE(8)

💖 UFDBUPDATE(8) — bestie, it's ufdbUpdate, and she's downloading your URL database 💖

okay so picture this: it's ufdbUpdate(8), section 8, and she has ONE job but she does it flawlessly. no notes. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

ufdbUpdate — download a URL database 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ufdbUpdate [-v]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so basically ufdbUpdate goes and grabs a brand new URL database, and then it signals ufdbguardd to load it up. that's it. that's the whole thing. she fetches, she taps ufdbguardd on the shoulder, done. 💅

and like, she's normally called by cron — so she's out here running on schedule, doing her little tasks at 3am while you sleep, main character energy fr fr. 🌙✨

also go peek at crontab(1) and the ufdbGuard Reference Manual if you want the full tea, bestie 🫖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -v — verbose mode, bby 🌸 she'll narrate every single step out loud. literally all of them. this one gets used when ufdbguard is installed, and also for debugging purposes when something's being sus and you need to see what's going on. 🔍

alsooo, quick note: ufdbUpdate parses configuration files to retrieve the username and password it needs to download updates for the URL database. so yeah, she's reading your config to get her credentials — see FILES down below and the Reference Manual for the deets. 🎀
