cvegenversdat(1)cvegenversdat Manual cvegenversdat(1)NAMEcvegenversdat - Generate version matching rules for passed on files
SYNOPSIS
<filelist> | cvegenversdat <packagename> <packageversion> <conffile>
[breakon]
DESCRIPTION
The cvegenversdat script is a distribution-agnostic script that at‐
tempts to generate version matching rules for the files fed to it
through standard input. It is commonly called from a distribution-spe‐
cific script (like cverules_gentoo).
USAGE
COMMAND USAGE
The command requires the following arguments to be set:
· packagename is the name of the package (like "gzip")
· packageversion is the (upstream) version of the tool, not of the dis‐
tribution (so "1.4" rather than "1.4-r1" or "1.4-yourdistro-1")
· conffile is the cvechecker configuration file (like "/etc/cvecheck‐
er.conf")
· breakon (literally) tells the script to stop the moment a match is
already found within the existing cvechecker database. Without the
"breakon" string, the script will scan all passed files, even if a
few of them are already known to cvechecker.
The script should not be called by end users but is rather a script to
be called by the distribution-specific scripts like cverules_gentoo.
