NAME

upf-add-group - Add a new group

VERSION

This document describes version 0.060 of upf-add-group (from Perl distribution App-UpfUtils), released on 2020-04-29.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

% upf-add-group [--backup] [--etc-dir=s] [--format=name] [--gid=s]
    [--json] [--max-gid=s] [--members-json=s] [--members=s] [--min-gid=s]
    [--(no)naked-res] [--no-backup] [--nobackup] [--page-result[=program]]
    <group>

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Main options

--backup

Whether to backup when modifying files.

Backup is written with `.bak` extension in the same directory. Unmodified file will not be backed up. Previous backup will be overwritten.

--gid=s

Pick a specific new GID.

Adding a new group with duplicate GID is allowed.

--group=s*
--max-gid=s

Pick a range for new GID.

Default value:

65535

If a free GID between `min_gid` and `max_gid` is not found, error 412 is returned.

--members-json=s

Fill initial members (JSON-encoded).

See --members.

--members=s

Fill initial members.

--min-gid=s

Pick a range for new GID.

Default value:

1000

If a free GID between `min_gid` and `max_gid` is not found, error 412 is returned.

Output options

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

undef
--json

Set output format to json.

--naked-res

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

0

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:

[1,2,3]
--page-result

Filter output through a pager.

Other options

--etc-dir=s

Specify location of passwd files.

Default value:

"/etc"
--help, -h, -?

Display help message and exit.

--version, -v

Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

complete -C upf-add-group upf-add-group

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

complete upf-add-group 'p/*/`upf-add-group`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
