✨ update-ieee-data(8) ✨

💖 NAME

update-ieee-data 🦋 this is the tool that goes and grabs the latest data files from the IEEE Standards Association, like the OUI and IAB lists. Lowkey essential.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

update-ieee-data

Literally just type the name and go. No extra args needed, bestie 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION

okay so update-ieee-data goes out and fetches the current version of the OUI and IAB lists from the IEEE Standards Association and installs them... but only if what you already have is older than 5 days. 🥹 It's giving "don't refresh if it's not stale yet" energy.

This utility requires curl, wget or libwww-perl to be installed. You need at least one of those on your system, fr fr 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -q — Be quiet. Do not output messages. Shh 🤫 no chatter, just vibes.
• -f — Force the update, even if the file is newer than 5 days. Main character move when you just need fresh data right now 👑

🧚 FILES

• /var/lib/ieee-data — Directory with the updated listings. This is where all the freshly pulled data lives ✨
