NAME
----
vchanger.conf - configuration file for *vchanger(8)*
SYNOPSIS
--------
/etc/vchanger/vchanger.conf
DESCRIPTION
-----------
*vchanger(8)* is passed the path to a configuration file as its first
positional parameter. The file contains keyword-value pairs, specified
by the free-form syntax 'keyword' = 'value'. Keywords are case-insensitive
and embedded whitespace is ignored. For example, "LOGLEVEL" is equivalent
to "Log Level". Values are case-sensitive and embedded whitespace is
preserved, however leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Values
may be one of the following types:
BOOLEAN::
The case insensitive strings "true", "yes", and "1" are accepted
as a true value, and "false", "no", and "0" as a false value.
INTEGER::
A numeric integer value
PATH::
A filesystem path. If the path does not begin with a ''/'' character,
then the path is considered a relative path. The directory to
which the path is relative is described for the relevant keyword
in the *CONFIGURATION SETTINGS* section.
STRING::
A text string. The string may be enclosed in double quotes. A
quoted string may also contain escape sequences. An escape
sequence begins with the back slash character `\'. Valid escape
sequences are \a, \b, \n, \r, \t, \v, \\, and \", and are
interpreted as in the C language.
CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
----------------------
*bconsole* = 'PATH'::
Specifies the path to the bconsole utility used to interface with
the Bacula console. If given as a relative path, standard shell
path search semantics apply. Specifying the empty string "" disables
the sending of commands to Bacula. The default is "bconsole".
*bconsole config* = 'PATH'::
Specifies the path to the bconsole configuration file to use when
invoking bconsole. The path is passed to bconsole using its -c
flag. If the empty string "" is specified, then bconsole is invoked
without the -c flag. The default is "".
*Default Pool* = 'STRING'::
Specifies the name of the pool into which newly created volumes
should be placed when labeling the new volumes via bconsole.
The default is "Scratch".
*Group* = 'STRING'::
Specifies the group that *vchanger(8)* should run as when invoked
by the root user. The default -s "tape".
*Logfile* = 'PATH'::
Specifies the path to the vchanger logfile. If a relative path is
specified, then it is relative to the directory defined by the
*Work Dir* keyword. The default is a file name that is the string
".conf" appended to the value of the 'Storage Resource' keyword in
the 'Work Dir' directory.
*Log Level* = 'INTEGER'::
Specifies the amount of logging desired. The value is an integer
between 0 and 7, inclusive, corresponding to the LOG_EMERG through
LOG_DEBUG log levels defined in *syslog(3)*.
*Magazine* = ('PATH' or 'STRING')::
Specifies a directory or file system that contains volume files that
the changer specified by the *Storage Resource* keyword may use. this
keyword may appear more than once in the configuration file in order
to specify multiple magazines. Mounted file systems may be specified
by prepending the string "UUID:" (case insensitive) to the UUID of
the file system. Otherwise, the value specifies the path to a
directory.
*Storage Resource* = 'STRING'::
Specifies the name of the Storage resource, defined in the Bacula
Director daemon''s configuration file (bacula-dir.conf), that is
associated with this changer. The default is "vchanger".
*User* = 'STRING'::
Specifies the user that *vchanger(8)* should run as when invoked
by the root user. The default is "bacula".
*Work Dir* = 'PATH'::
Specifies the path to the work directory *vchanger(8)* will use for
this changer. The default is a sub-directory of /var/spool/vchanger
named as the value of the *Storage Resource* keyword.
