upgrade_parameters
The upgrade has several command line parameters that can be used to preform
different operations. The most common option would be to run the upgrade
without any parameters, but the option is given if u need if for a certain
reason.
The folowing is from running "upgrade help":
Command line Switches.
force - Forces upgrade to run unconditionally.
users - Runs user upgrade only. *
config - Runs configuration upgrade only.
bbslist - Runs bbslist upgrade only. *
strings - Runs string upgrade only. *
extra - Prints out extended upgrade info.
path - Asks for data path
help - Displays this help menu.
*(must be in data directory)
force - This parameter forces iniquity to run the upgrade even
if a older version then 2.00 is not detected. There
should be no reason to run the upgrade in this fashion
unless u know your version is older then 2.00 but the
upgrade is refusing to run, not detecting an older
version.
users - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the
user file to the new format. Everything else is left
untouched. An example of this would be if you were
returning to a back up of your user file for some
reason.
config - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the
iniquity.dat to the new format. Everything else is left
untouched. An example of this would be if you were
returning to a back up of your iniquity.dat for some
reason.
bbslist - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the
bbs list to it's new format. Everything else is left
untouched. An example of this would be if you were
returning to a back up of your bbs list for some reason.
strings - This parameter runs the upgrade but only upgrades the
strings to there new format. Everything else is left
untouched. An example of this would be if you were
returning to a back up of your strings for some reason.
path - This parameter prompts you for the directory to iniquity's
data directory, giving you the ability to upgrade your
old installation if its not in the current directory.
extra - This parameter gives extra information of what is being
upgraded. EG. insted of just saying bbslist upgraded
it goes through each name of each bbs and prints it on
screen.
help - Well this is pretty self explanatory don't u think?
