.PP
The tools used for downloading are either
.BR curl (1),
.BR wget (1),
.BR lynx (1),
.\" %IF OS FreeBSD
.BR fetch (1)
[FreeBSD only],
.\" %ENDIF OS FreeBSD
.\" %IF OS OpenBSD

.PP
The downloaded file is verified with OpenPGP/GPG key ID 721042C5.
The public key block is included in the script.
.PP
The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring
the differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to
.BR drivedb.h.old .
.PP
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE]
The old file is also kept if the downloaded file reports an older version
on the same branch.
This could be overridden with the \*(Aq\-\-force\*(Aq option.
If the branch version differs, the file is always updated.
.Sp
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B \-s SMARTCTL, \-\-smartctl SMARTCTL
Use the
.BR smartctl (8)
executable at path SMARTCTL for drive database syntax check.
The form \*(Aq\-s \-\*(Aq disables the syntax check.
The default is
.BR /usr/local/sbin/smartctl .
.TP
.B \-t [DIR/]TOOL, \-\-tool [DIR/]TOOL
Use TOOL for download.
TOOL is one of:
.I curl wget lynx
.\" %IF OS FreeBSD
.I fetch
.\" %ENDIF OS FreeBSD
.\" %IF OS OpenBSD
.I ftp
.\" %ENDIF OS OpenBSD
.IR svn .
The default is the first one found in PATH.
.br
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE]
A DIR could also be specified.
The plain TOOL name must then begin with any of the above names.
.TP
.B \-u LOCATION, \-\-url\-of LOCATION
Use URL of LOCATION for download.
LOCATION is one of:
.br
.I github
(GitHub mirror of SVN repository),
.br
.I sf
(Sourceforge code browser),
.br
.I svn
(SVN repository),
.br
.I svni
(SVN repository via HTTP instead of HTTPS),
.br
.I trac
(Trac code browser).
.br
The default is
.IR svn .
.TP
.B \-\-url URL
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE]
Download from URL.
A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature with \*(Aq.raw.asc\*(Aq extension must also
exist unless \*(Aq\-\-no\-verify\*(Aq is also specified.
.TP
.B \-\-file FILE
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE]
Copy from local FILE.
A valid OpenPGP/GPG signature \*(AqFILE.raw.asc\*(Aq must also exist
unless \*(Aq\-\-no\-verify\*(Aq is also specified.
.\" %IF ENABLE_DB_INSTALL
.TP
.B \-\-install
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE]
Copy from originally installed drive database file.
This is the same as:
.br
\*(Aq\-\-no\-verify \-\-file /usr/local/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h\*(Aq
.\" %ENDIF ENABLE_DB_INSTALL
.TP
.B \-\-trunk
Download from SVN trunk.
This requires \*(Aq\-\-no\-verify\*(Aq because the trunk versions are not
signed.
.TP
.B \-\-branch X.Y
Download from branches/RELEASE_\fBX\fP_\fBY\fP_DRIVEDB.
This also selects the OpenPGP/GPG key for older branches
(5.40 to 6.6: Key ID DFD22559).

.B \-\-cacert FILE
Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer.
.TP
.B \-\-capath DIR

This option is also required if a HTTP URL is selected with \*(Aq\-u\*(Aq
option.
.TP
.B \-\-no\-verify
Don't verify signature with GnuPG.
.TP
.B \-\-force
[NEW EXPERIMENTAL UPDATE-SMART-DRIVEDB 7.3 FEATURE]
