wfut — WorldForge update tool
Synopsis
wfut [ options ] -u channel_name
Description
wfut is a command-line update tool intended for use with WorldForge systems. It provides the client side update functionality. Server-side functionality is still at present only available in the Java version of WFUT.
Options
- -u channel_name, --update=channel_name
-
Update the channel
channel_name.
This can be a period, ., if the current directory (or prefix) is the full path to a channel.
- -p local_root, --prefix=local_root
-
Use the directory
local_root
instead of the current working directory to search for local updates.
- -s system_root, --system=system_root
-
Look in
system_root
for read-only / package installed channel data.
- -S server_root, --server=server_root
-
Use
server_root
as the base URL on the server in which channels are kept.
Examples
The following command will update the channel sear-media. This will look for a directory called sear-media in $HOME/.wfut/, or create one if necessary and download updates into there. It will also look in /usr/share/wfut/sear-media for existing files.wfut -s /usr/share/wfut/ -p $HOME/.wfut/ -u sear-media
Notes
wfut uses curl internally.
