PrintWeederVars(8)

Name

PrintWeederVars - print VestaWeed(1) stable state

Synopsis

PrintWeederVars

Description

PrintWeederVars prints the stable state written by the VestaWeed(1) program to the standard output in a human-readable form. It is intended to be used for debugging purposes.

Configuration Variables

Like most Vesta-2 applications, PrintWeederVars reads site-specific configuration information from a Vesta-2 configuration file named vesta.cfg. The program first looks for this file in the current directory; if none is found there, it looks in your home directory.

The configuration file is divided into a number of sections, denoted in the file by [SectionName]. The weeder uses variables in the [CacheServer] and [Weeder] sections of the configuration file. Here are the variables and their meanings; the types of the variables are shown in parentheses. Those variables corresponding to paths or directories should not end with a slash ("/") character.

The following variable is read from the [CacheServer] section of the configuration file:

MetaDataRoot (string)

The pathname of the directory in which the Vesta system's metadata is stored. If this variable is undefined, the current directory is used. Other configuration variables are interpreted relative to this path.

The following variables are read from the [Weeder] section of the configuration file:

MetaDataDir (string)

The directory (relative to the $MetaDataRoot) in which the weeder's metadata is stored.

Weeded, MiscVars (strings)

The files (relative to $MetaDataRoot/$MetaDataDir) corresponding to stable weeder variables.
