NAME
       update-smart-drivedb - update smartmontools drive database

SYNOPSIS
       update-smart-drivedb [OPTIONS] [DESTFILE]

DESCRIPTION
       [This man page is generated for the Linux version of smartmontools.  It
       does not contain info specific to other platforms.]

       update-smart-drivedb  updates  /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
       or DESTFILE from smartmontools SVN repository.

       It tries to download first from the current branch and then from trunk.
       The tools used for downloading are either curl(1), wget(1), lynx(1), or
       svn(1).

       The  old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring the
       differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to drivedb.h.old.

OPTIONS
       -s SMARTCTL
	      Use the smartctl(8) executable at path SMARTCTL for drive	 data‐
	      base  syntax  check.  The form ´-s -´ disables the syntax check.
	      The default is /usr/sbin/smartctl.

       -t TOOL
	      Use TOOL for download.  TOOL is one of: curl wget lynx svn.  The
	      default is the first one found in PATH.

       -u LOCATION
	      Use URL of LOCATION for download. LOCATION is one of:
	      sf (Sourceforge code browser via HTTPS),
	      svn (SVN repository via HTTPS),
	      svni (SVN repository via HTTP),
	      trac (Trac code browser via HTTPS).
	      The default is svn.

       --cacert FILE
	      Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer.

       --capath DIR
	      Use CA certificate files from DIR to verify the peer.

       --insecure
	      Don't  abort  download  if certificate verification fails.  This
	      option is also required if a HTTP	 URL  is  selected  with  ´-u´
	      option.

       --dryrun
	      Print download commands only.

       -v     Verbose output.
