NAME
       nsscache - synchronise a local NSS cache with an upstream data source

SYNOPSIS
       nsscache [global options] command [command options]

DESCRIPTION
       nsscache	 synchronises  a local NSS cache against a remote data source.
       This approach allows the administrator to separate the network from the
       NSS lookup codepath, improving speed and reliability of name services.

OPTIONS
       Global options alter general program behaviour:

       -v, --verbose
	      enable verbose output

       -d, --debug
	      enable debugging output

       -c FILE, --config-file=FILE
	      read configuration from FILE

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

COMMANDS
   update
       Performs	 an  update  of	 the  configured  caches  from	the configured
       sources.

       -f, --full
	      force a full update from the data source

       --force
	      force the update, overriding  any	 safeguards  and  checks  that
	      would otherwise prevent the update from occurring. e.g. normally
	      empty results from the data source are ignored as bogus --  this
	      option will instruct the program to ignore its intuition and use
	      the empty map

       -m MAPS, --map=MAPS
	      NSS map to operate on, can be supplied multiple times

       -h, --help
	      show help for the update command

   verify
       Perform verification of the built caches and validation of  the	system
       NSS configuration.

       -m MAPS, --map=MAPS
	      NSS map to operate on, can be supplied multiple times

       -h, --help
	      show help for the verify command

   status
       Show  the last update time of each configured cache, and other metrics,
       optionally in a machine-readable format.

       -m MAPS, --map=MAPS
	      NSS map to operate on, can be supplied multiple times

       -h, --help
	      show help for the status command

   repair
       Verify that the configuration is correct, that the source is reachable,
       then perform a full synchronisation of the cache.

       -m MAPS, --map=MAPS
	      NSS map to operate on, can be supplied multiple times

       -h, --help
	      show help for the repair command

   help
       Shows online help for each command.
