UCF.CONF(5) Debian GNU/Linux manual UCF.CONF(5)

NAME

   ucf.conf - site-wide configuration file for ucf

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/ucf.conf

DESCRIPTION

   The file /etc/ucf.conf is a POSIX Shell snippet sourced by ucf(1) and ucfr(1).  It can contain any shell directive (just ensure you know what you are doing).

   All the variables have reasonable default values, but they be overridden on a site-wide or per-run basis.

   a) Some variables can be set in the config file /etc/ucf.conf.  These values override the defaults.

   b) Some variables can also be set by setting a corresponding environment variable.  These values take precedence over the config file.

Configuration File options

   At the moment, the user modifiable variables supported are:

   DEBUG             Debugging information: The default value is 0 (no debugging information is printed).  To enable debugging output, set the value to 1.

   VERBOSE           Verbosity: The default value is 0 (quiet).  To change the default behavior, set the value to 1.

   conf_force_conffold
                     Force  the  installed  file to be retained.  The default is to have this variable unset, which makes the script ask in case of doubt.  This can also be overridden by
                     the environment variable UCF_FORCE_CONFFOLD

   conf_force_conffnew
                     Force the installed file to be overwritten.  The default is to have this variable unset, which makes the script ask in case of doubt.  This can also be overridden by
                     the environment variable UCF_FORCE_CONFFNEW

   conf_source_dir   This is the directory where the historical md5sums for a file are looked for.  Specifically, the historical md5sums  are  looked  for  in  either  the  file  ${file
                     name}.md5sum, or the subdirectory ${filename}.md5sum.d/

   conf_old_mdsum_file
                     Force  the historical md5sums to be read from this file, rather than defaulting to living in the source directory.  Setting this option overrides settings in the en
                     vironment variable UCF_OLD_MDSUM_FILE

Files

   System-wide defaults are placed in /etc/ucf.conf,

BUGS

   There are no bugs.  Any resemblance thereof is delirium.  Really.
