NAME
       odbcinst - An unixODBC tool for manipulating configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       odbcinst ACTION OBJECT OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION
       odbcinst	 is  a	command	 line tool which has been created for allowing
       people who are developing the install scripts/RPMs for  Drivers	to  be
       able to easily create/remove entries in odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. This
       command line tool is a complement to the shared	library	 of  the  same
       name (libodbcinst.so). This tool is a part of the odbcinst component of
       unixODBC.

OPTIONS
   ACTIONS
       -i     Install (add section to config file) new OBJECT.

       -u     Uninstall (remove section from config file) existing OBJECT.

       -q     Query the config files  and  print  the  options	for  specified
	      OBJECT.

       -j     Prints current configuration of unixODBC, listing (among others)
	      the paths to the configuration files.

       -c     Calls SQLCreateDataSource

       -m     Calls SQLManageDataSources

       --version
	      Prints program version and exits.

   OBJECTS
       -d     The ACTION affect drivers (and thus the odbcinst.ini  configura‐
	      tion file).

       -s     The  ACTION  affect  data	 sources  (and thus the user or system
	      odbc.ini configuration file).

   OPTIONS
       -f FILE
	      The FILE is  template  file,  describing	the  configuration  of
	      installed OBJECT (only valid for the -i ACTION).

       -r     Same  as the -f OPTION, only take the standard input as the tem‐
	      plate file.

       -n NAME
	      Specifies the NAME of the OBJECT.

       -v     Turn off verbose mode. This turns off all	 information,  warning
	      and error messages.

       -l     The  specified  data  source is system-wide. Has any effect only
	      with the -s OBJECT.

       -h     The specified data source is user-specific. Has any effect  only
	      with the -s OBJECT.

RETURN VALUES
       This command returns zero on success and non-zero value on failure.

FILES
       /etc/odbinst.ini
	      Configuration  file containing all the database drivers specifi‐
	      cations. See odbcinst.ini(5) for more details.

       /etc/odbc.ini
	      System-wide data sources	specifications.	 See  odbc.ini(5)  for
