NAME

gspl-spuconv - dump out GNUspool user permissions to file

SYNOPSIS

gspl-spuconv [ -D dir ] [ -v n ] [ -e n ] [ -s ] [ -f ] user file outfile

DESCRIPTION

gspl-spuconv considers a GNUspool spool directory, by default the current directory, takes the user file, which is usually spufile or spufile0.0, and generates a shell script file outfile, which if executed, would recreate the GNUspool users with the same options.

OPTIONS

-D directory
specifies the source directory for the users and user file. It can be specified as $SPOOLDIR or "${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnuspool}" etc and the environment and/or gnuspool.conf will be interrogated to interpolate the value of the environment variable given.

If you use this, don't forget to put single quotes around it thus: 

 gspl-spuconv -D '${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnuspool}' ...

otherwise the shell will try to interpret the $ construct and not gspl-spuconv.

-e n
Tolerate n errors of the kinds denoted by the other options before giving up trying to convert the file.
-s
Ignore file size errors in the saved user file (up to the number of total errors given by the -e option.
-f
Ignore format errors (invalid form types etc) in the saved user file.
