NAME

distrib-info - A distribution independant utility to retrieve package information.

SYNTAX

distrib-info vserver-name command [options]

DESCRIPTION

distrib-info - This utility provides a solution to hide some differences between Linux distributions. The various utilities (vunify, vbuild, ...) need package information to perform their task. They call distrib-info to retrieve this information. distrib-info is the only one understanding the various distribution out there.

This utility is only used as a back-end for other utilities such as
vunify and vbuild.

OPTIONS

dumpfiles reports all files owned by a package.
pkgversion reports all packages and version.
unifiles reports the files of a package which may be shared by
several virtual servers. Generally, this excludes all configuration files.

EXAMPLES

The following command will report all packages in the vserver ref80. The package will be presented with the version/release.

        distrib-info ref80 pkgversion

To get the list of unify-able (sharable) file in package sendmail of the vserver ref80, we do

        distrib-info ref80 unifiles sendmail

FILES

       /usr/lib/vservers/distrib-info
