NAME

       wfut - WorldForge update tool

SYNOPSIS

       wfut [ options ] -u channel_name

DESCRIPTION

       wfut  is  a  command-line  update tool intended for use with WorldForge
       systems. It provides the client side update functionality.  Server-side
       functionality is still at present only available in the Java version of
       WFUT.

OPTIONS

       -u channel_name, --update=channel_name
              Update the channel channel_name.  This can be a  period,  .,  if
              the current directory (or prefix) is the full path to a channel.

       -p local_root, --prefix=local_root
              Use the directory local_root  instead  of  the  current  working
              directory to search for local updates.

       -s system_root, --system=system_root
              Look  in  system_root  for read-only / package installed channel
              data.

       -S server_root, --server=server_root
              Use server_root as the base URL on the server in which  channels
              are kept.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  command  will update the channel sear-media.  This will
       look for a directory called sear-media in $HOME/.wfut/, or  create  one
       if  necessary  and  download  updates  into there. It will also look in
       /usr/share/wfut/sear-media for existing files.

       wfut -s /usr/share/wfut/ -p $HOME/.wfut/ -u sear-media

NOTES

       wfut uses curl internally.
