NAME
lcf - Determine which of the historical versions of a config is installed SYNOPSIS
lcf [options] <Destination File Name> <Historical MD5SUM source directory> DESCRIPTION
This script, given a destination file name, and a directory containing md5sums of historical versions of the file, attempts to determine if the installed version corresponds to a historical version. lcf uses the same algorithm that ucf uses, and should exhibit the same behav- iour. The source directory is the place where historical md5sums are expected to live. Specifically, the historical md5sums are looked for in either the file ${filename}.md5sum, or the subdirectory ${filename}.md5sum.d/ OPTIONS
-h, --help Print a short usage message -n, --no-action Dry run. Print the actions that would be taken if the script is invoked, but take no action. -d [n], --debug [n] Set the debug level to the (optional) level n (n defaults to 1). This turns on copious debugging information. -v, --verbose Make the script be very verbose about setting internal variables. FILES
/var/lib/ucf/hashfile, /etc/ucf.conf SEE ALSO
ucf(1) ucf.conf(5). BUGS
There are no bugs. Any resemblance thereof is delirium. Really. AUTHOR
