CONF-UPDATE(1)

NAME
conf-update - handle configuration file updates

SYNOPSIS
conf-update [path1] [path2] [pathN]

DESCRIPTION
conf-update is supposed to be run after merging a new package to see if there are updates to the configuration files. If a new configuration file will override an old one, conf-update will prompt the user for a decision.

If given one or more paths, conf-update will search them for config files to update. If no arguments are given, conf-update will check all directories in the CONFIG_PROTECT variable. All config files found in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK will automatically be updated for you by conf-update.

conf-update supports the following actions: replacing, deleting, merging interactively. To select a directory and all its config files, select it and press the space bar.

OPTIONS

See /etc/conf-update.conf.
