GBCH-BTUCONV(8)

NAME
gbch-btuconv - dump out GNUbatch user permissions to file

SYNOPSIS
gbch-btuconv [ -D dir ] [ -v n ] [ -e n ] [ -s ] [ -f ] user file outfile

DESCRIPTION
gbch-btuconv considers a GNUbatch batch directory, by default the current directory, takes the user file, which is usually spufile or spufile0.0, and generates a shell script file outfile, which if executed, would recreate the GNUbatch users with the same options.

OPTIONS

-D directory
    specifies the source directory for the users and user file. It can be specified as $SPOOLDIR or "${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnubatch}" etc and the environment and/or gnubatch.conf will be interrogated to interpolate the value of the environment variable given.

    If you use this, don't forget to put single quotes around it thus:

     gbch-btuconv -D '${SPOOLDIR-/var/spool/gnubatch}' ...

    otherwise the shell will try to interpret the $ construct and not gbch-btuconv.

-e n
    Tolerate n errors of the kinds denoted by the other options before giving up trying to convert the file.

-s  Ignore file size errors in the saved user file (up to the number of total errors given by the -e option.

-f  Ignore format errors (invalid form types etc) in the saved user file.
