NAME
etc-update - handle configuration file updates
SYNOPSIS
etc-update
[ options] [ -automode <mode>] [ paths to scan]
DESCRIPTION
etc-update is supposed to be run after merging a new package to see if
there are updates to the configuration files. If a new
configuration file will override an old one,
etc-update will prompt the user for a decision.
etc-update will check all directories specified on the command
line. If no paths are given, then the CONFIG_PROTECT variable
will be used. All config files found in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK will
automatically be updated for you by etc-update.
See make.conf(5) for more information.
etc-update respects the normal PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT and
EROOT variables for finding the aforementioned config protect variables.
Multiple target distributions are supported, including portage(5),
rpm(1), pacman(1), and dpkg(1) based systems. Detection of
the target package management system is done by inspecting
/etc/os-release. ETC_UPDATE_OS_FAMILY can be used to override this
detection.
