This can be used to preserve the metadata in -situations where it is usually not stored (git and tar for example) or as -a tripwire like mechanism to detect any changes to metadata. Note that e.g. -SELinux stores its labels in xattrs so care should be taken when applying -stored metadata to make sure that system security is not compromised. -.\" -.SH ACTIONS -.TP -.B \-c, \-\-compare -Shows the difference between the stored and real metadata. -.TP -.B \-s, \-\-save -Saves the current metadata to ./.metadata or to the specified file -(see \-\-file option below). -.TP -.B \-a, \-\-apply -Attempts to apply the stored metadata to the file system. -.TP -.B \-d, \-\-dump -Dumps stored (if no \fIPATH\fR is given) or real metadata (if \fIPATH\fR is -present, e.g. \fB./\fR) in human-readable form. - -This action is meant only as a helpful debugging facility or merge conflict -helper. Do not ever compare its output generated using different metastore -version. Do not rely on current output format (especially in batch scripts), -because it may change in future without prior notice. -.TP -.B \-h, \-\-help -Prints a help message and exits. -.\" -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \-v, \-\-verbose -Causes metastore to print more verbose messages. Can be repeated more than -once for even more verbosity. -.TP -.B \-q, \-\-quiet -Causes metastore to print less verbose messages. Can be repeated more than -once for even less verbosity. -.TP -.B \-m, \-\-mtime -Causes metastore to also take mtime into account for the compare or apply actions. -.TP -.B \-e, \-\-empty\-dirs -Also attempts to recreate missing empty directories. May be useful where -empty directories are not tracked (e.g. by git or cvs). -Only works in combination with the \fBapply\fR option. -.TP -.B -E, --remove-empty-dirs -Also attempts to remove empty directories missing from the metadata. May be -useful where empty directories are not tracked (e.g. by git or cvs). Only -works in combination with the \fBapply\fR option. -.TP -.B \-g, \-\-git -Prevents metastore from omitting .git directories. -.TP -.B \-f <file>, \-\-file <file> -Causes the metadata to be saved, read from the specified file rather -than ./.metadata. -.\" -.SH PATHS -If no path is specified, metastore will use the current directory as the basis -for the actions. This is the recommended way of executing metastore. -Alternatively, one or more paths can be specified and they will each be -examined. Later invocations should be made using the exact same paths to -ensure that the stored metadata is interpreted correctly. -.\" -.SH AUTHOR -Written by David Härdeman <david@hardeman.nu> - |
