NAME

       scrollkeeper-update - identify new, modified, or removed OMF files and update the scrollkeeper databases

SYNOPSIS

       scrollkeeper-update [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -p database-directory ] [ -o omf-directories ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  synchronizes  the	scrollkeeper database with the OMF directory.  It searches the scrollkeeper OMF directory to identify if any files
       were added, removed, or modified and updates its internal database files to reflect any changes.

       This utility is generally executed as the last step of installation, after the OMF file is copied into place.  It  is  also  typically  the
       last  step  of uninstallation, after the OMF file is removed.  Using this, an administrator can easily manually install and uninstall docu-
       ments into the database.  It can also be run to guarantee the database is fully up-to-date.

       Note that because scrollkeeper-update is normally run during installation and its output is typically seen by users, non-critical  warnings
       and  errors  such as those caused by invalid metadata are written to the log file instead of to the terminal. Developers should use the log
       file to identify any problems.

OPTIONS

       -v     Be verbose: Say which scrollkeeper-install and scrollkeeper-uninstall commands are being run to bring the database up to date.

       -q     Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT.  Note that  most	output	to
	      the log file will be unchanged.

       -p database-directory
	      Use  database-directory  as  the	directory  for	the scrollkeeper database rather than the usual one obtained by running omf-config
	      --pkglocalstatedir.

       -o omf-directories
	      Examine the directories named in omf-directories rather than the one usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper-config --omfdir  (or
	      specified in the OMF_DIR environment variable if set).  The omf-directories should be a colon-separated list of directories.

ENVIRONMENT

       OMF_DIR
	      If  no  -o  option is specified, this variable overrides the scrollkeeper-config-provided OMF directory.	It should be a colon-sepa-
	      rated list of directories.
