pobsd-utils

pobsd-utils

pobsd-utils is a tool written in Rust designed to interact with the PlayOnBSD database that can be find here

It makes use of both plege(2) and unveil(2).

At the moment, it provides two functionalities:

• checking the database integrity (at the moment, in a minimal way)

• exporting the database in a different format (at the moment, only json)

Installing

You can install it using cargo with cargo install pobsd-utils. Make sure to update to your $PATH to be able to use it (usually by adding $HOME/.cargo/bin).

Checking the database integrity

For now, it boils down to checking if the parser can parse the database and tells where the parser found errors.

$ pobsd-utils check games.db 
> 356 games parsed without error
$ pobsd-utils check faulty-games.db
> 356 games parsed
> Errors occured at lines 15, 24.

If there is an error, it should be fixed before using the other functions of pobsd since this could lead to wrong data being displayed or exported.

Exporting the database

At the moment, the only format available is json.

$ pobsd-utils export games.db games.json
