37 | ||
38 | <para><command>systemd-sysusers</command> creates system users and | |
39 | groups, based on the file format and location specified in | |

43 | <para>If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from all files |
44 | found in the directories specified by | |
45 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. | |
46 | When invoked with positional arguments, if option | |
47 | <option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option> is specified, arguments | |
48 | specified on the command line are used instead of the configuration file | |
49 | <replaceable>PATH</replaceable>. Otherwise, just the configuration specified by | |
50 | the command line arguments is executed. The string <literal>-</literal> may be | |
51 | specified instead of a filename to instruct <command>systemd-sysusers</command> | |
52 | to read the configuration from standard input. If only the basename of a file is | |
53 | specified, all configuration directories are searched for a matching file and | |
54 | the file found that has the highest priority is executed.</para> | |

63 | <varlistentry> | |
64 | <term><option>--root=<replaceable>root</replaceable></option></term> | |
65 | <listitem><para>Takes a directory path as an argument. All | |

72 | <term><option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option></term> | |
73 | <listitem><para>When this option is given, one ore more positional arguments | |
74 | must be specified. All configuration files found in the directories listed in | |
75 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
76 | will be read, and the configuration given on the command line will be | |
77 | handled instead of and with the same priority as the configuration file | |
78 | <replaceable>PATH</replaceable>.</para> | |
79 | ||
80 | <para>This option is intended to be used when package installation scripts | |
81 | are running and files belonging to that package are not yet available on | |
82 | disk, so their contents must be given on the command line, but the admin | |
83 | configuration might already exist and should be given higher priority. | |
84 | </para> | |

87 | <title>RPM installation script for radvd</title> | |
88 | ||
89 | <programlisting>echo 'u radvd - "radvd daemon"' | \ | |
90 | systemd-sysusers --replace=/usr/lib/sysusers.d/radvd.conf -</programlisting> | |
91 | ||
92 | <para>This will create the radvd user as if | |
93 | <filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d/radvd.conf</filename> was already on disk. | |
94 | An admin might override the configuration specified on the command line by | |
95 | placing <filename>/etc/sysusers.d/radvd.conf</filename> or even | |
96 | <filename>/etc/sysusers.d/00-overrides.conf</filename>.</para> | |

bb4f798a | 98 | <para>Note that this is the expanded form, and when used in a package, this |

100 | configuration line as arguments.</para> | |
