<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-sysusers</command> creates system users and
|
|
groups, based on the file format and location specified in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from all files
|
|
found in the directories specified by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
When invoked with positional arguments, if option
|
|
<option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option> is specified, arguments
|
|
specified on the command line are used instead of the configuration file
|
|
<replaceable>PATH</replaceable>. Otherwise, just the configuration specified by
|
|
the command line arguments is executed. The string <literal>-</literal> may be
|
|
specified instead of a filename to instruct <command>systemd-sysusers</command>
|
|
to read the configuration from standard input. If only the basename of a file is
|
|
specified, all configuration directories are searched for a matching file and
|
|
the file found that has the highest priority is executed.</para>

|
|
<para>The following options are understood:</para>
|
|
|
|
<variablelist>
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><option>--root=<replaceable>root</replaceable></option></term>
|
|
<listitem><para>Takes a directory path as an argument. All
|
|
paths will be prefixed with the given alternate
|
|
<replaceable>root</replaceable> path, including config search
|
|
paths. </para></listitem>
|
|
</varlistentry>
|
|
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option></term>
|
|
<listitem><para>When this option is given, one ore more positional arguments
|
|
must be specified. All configuration files found in the directories listed in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
will be read, and the configuration given on the command line will be
|
|
handled instead of and with the same priority as the configuration file
|
|
<replaceable>PATH</replaceable>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This option is intended to be used when package installation scripts
|
|
are running and files belonging to that package are not yet available on
|
|
disk, so their contents must be given on the command line, but the admin
|
|
configuration might already exist and should be given higher priority.
|
|
</para>

|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>RPM installation script for radvd</title>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>echo 'u radvd - "radvd daemon"' | \
|
|
systemd-sysusers --replace=/usr/lib/sysusers.d/radvd.conf -</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>This will create the radvd user as if
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d/radvd.conf</filename> was already on disk.
|
|
An admin might override the configuration specified on the command line by
|
|
placing <filename>/etc/sysusers.d/radvd.conf</filename> or even
|
|
<filename>/etc/sysusers.d/00-overrides.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that this is the expanded from, and when used in a package, this
|
|
would be written using a macro with "radvd" and a file containing the
|
|
configuration line as arguments.</para>
