## The oputil CLI
ENiGMA½ comes with `oputil.js` henceforth known as `oputil`, a command line interface (CLI) tool for sysops to perform general system and user administration. You likely used oputil to do the initial ENiGMA configuration.
Let's look the main help output as per this writing:
```
usage: oputil.js [--version] [--help]
<command> [<args>]
global args:
-c, --config PATH specify config path (./config/)
-n, --no-prompt assume defaults/don't prompt for input where possible
commands:
user user utilities
config config file management
fb file base management
mb message base management
```
Commands break up operations by groups:
| Command | Description |
|-----------|---------------|
| `user` | User management |
| `config` | System configuration and maintenance |
| `fb` | File base configuration and management |
| `mb` | Message base configuration and management |
Global arguments apply to most commands and actions:
* `--config`: Specify configuration directory if it is not the default of `./config/`.
* `--no-prompt`: Assume defaults and do not prompt when posisible.
Type `./oputil.js <command> --help` for additional help on a particular command. The following sections will describe them.
## User
The `user` command covers various user operations.
```
usage: oputil.js user <action> [<args>]
actions:
info USERNAME display information about a user
pw USERNAME PASSWORD set a user's password
aliases: password, passwd
rm USERNAME permanently removes user from system
aliases: remove, delete, del
activate USERNAME set status to active
deactivate USERNAME set status to inactive
disable USERNAME set status to disabled
lock USERNAME set status to locked
group USERNAME [+|-]GROUP adds (+) or removes (-) user from a group
```
| Action | Description | Examples | Aliases |
|-----------|-------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------|
| `info` | Display user information| `./oputil.js user info joeuser` | N/A |
| `pw` | Set password | `./oputil.js user pw joeuser s3cr37` | `passwd`, `password` |
| `rm` | Removes user | `./oputil.js user del joeuser` | `remove`, `del`, `delete` |
| `activate` | Activates user | `./oputil.js user activate joeuser` | N/A |
| `deactivate` | Deactivates user | `./oputil.js user deactivate joeuser` | N/A |
| `disable` | Disables user (user will not be able to login) | `./oputil.js user disable joeuser` | N/A |
| `lock` | Locks the user account (prevents logins) | `./oputil.js user lock joeuser` | N/A |
| `group` | Modifies users group membership | Add to group: `./oputil.js user group joeuser +derp`<br/>Remove from group: `./oputil.js user group joeuser -derp` | N/A |
## Configuration
The `config` command allows sysops to perform various system configuration and maintenance tasks.
```
usage: oputil.js config <action> [<args>]
actions:
new generate a new/initial configuration
cat cat current configuration to stdout
cat args:
--no-color disable color
--no-comments strip any comments
```
| Action | Description | Examples |
|-----------|-------------------|---------------------------------------|
| `new` | Generates a new/initial configuration | `./oputil.js config new` (follow the prompts) |
| `cat` | Pretty prints current `config.hjson` configuration to stdout. | `./oputil.js config cat` |
## File Base Management
The `fb` command provides a powerful file base management interface.
```
usage: oputil.js fb <action> [<args>]
actions:
scan AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] scan specified area
may also contain optional GLOB as last parameter,
for example: scan some_area *.zip
info CRITERIA display information about areas and/or files
matching CRITERIA.
mv SRC [SRC...] DST move entry(s) from SRC to DST
SRC: FILENAME_WC|SHA|FILE_ID|AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG]
DST: AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG]
rm SRC [SRC...] remove entry(s) from the system matching SRC
SRC: FILENAME_WC|SHA|FILE_ID|AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG]
desc CRITERIA sets a new file description for file base entry
matching CRITERIA. Launches an external editor using
$VISUAL, $EDITOR, or vim/notepad.
import-areas FILEGATE.ZXX import file base areas using FileGate RAID type format
scan args:
--tags TAG1,TAG2,... specify tag(s) to assign to discovered entries
--desc-file [PATH] prefer file descriptions from supplied path over other
other sources such as FILE_ID.DIZ. Path must point to
a valid FILES.BBS or DESCRIPT.ION file.
--update attempt to update information for existing entries
--quick perform quick scan
info args:
--show-desc display short description, if any
remove args:
--phys-file also remove underlying physical file
import-areas args:
--type TYPE sets import areas type. valid options are "zxx" or "na"
--create-dirs create backing storage directories
general information:
AREA_TAG[@STORAGE_TAG] can specify an area tag and optionally, a storage specific tag
example: retro@bbs
CRITERIA file base entry criteria. in general, can be AREA_TAG, SHA,
FILE_ID, or FILENAME_WC.
FILENAME_WC filename with * and ? wildcard support. may match 0:n entries
SHA full or partial SHA-256
FILE_ID a file identifier. see file.sqlite3
```
#### Scan File Area
The `scan` action can (re)scan a file area for new entries as well as update (`--update`) existing entry records (description, etc.). When scanning, a valid area tag must be specified. Optionally, storage tag may also be supplied in order to scan a specific filesystem location using the `@the_storage_tag` syntax. If a [GLOB](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/glob.7.html) is supplied as the last argument, only file entries with filenames matching will be processed.
##### Examples
Performing a quick scan of a specific area's storage location ("retro_warez", "retro_warez_games) matching only *.zip extensions:
```bash
$ ./oputil.js fb scan --quick retro_warez@retro_warez_games *.zip`
```
Update all entries in the "artscene" area supplying the file tags "artscene", and "textmode".
```bash
$ ./oputil.js fb scan --update --quick --tags artscene,textmode artscene`
```
Scan "oldschoolbbs" area using the description file at "/path/to/DESCRIPT.ION":
```
$ ./oputil.js fb scan --desc-file /path/to/DESCRIPT.ION oldschoolbbs
```
#### Retrieve Information
The `info` action can retrieve information about an area or file entry(s).
##### Examples
Information about a particular area:
```bash
./oputil.js fb info retro_pc
areaTag: retro_pc
name: Retro PC
desc: Oldschool / retro PC
storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1990 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1990
storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1991 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1991
storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1992 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1992
storageTag: retro_pc_tdc_1993 => /file_base/dos/tdc/1993
```
Perhaps we want to fetch some information about a file in which we know piece of the filename:
```bash
./oputil.js fb info "impulse*"
file_id: 143
sha_256: 547299301254ccd73eba4c0ec9cd6ab8c5929fbb655e72c4cc842f11332792d4
area_tag: impulse_project
storage_tag: impulse_project
path: /file_base/impulse_project/impulseproject01.tar.gz
hashTags: impulse.project,8bit.music,cid

```
### Importing FileGate RAID Style Areas
Given a FileGate "RAID" style `FILEGATE.ZXX` file, one can import areas. This format also often comes in FTN-style info packs in the form of a `.NA` file i.e.: `FILEBONE.NA`.
#### Example
```bash
./oputil.js fb import-areas FILEGATE.ZXX --create-dirs
```
-or-
```bash
# fsxNet info packs contain a FSX_FILE.NA file
./oputil.js fb import-areas FSX_FILE.NA --create-dirs --type NA
```
The above command will process FILEGATE.ZXX creating areas and backing directories. Directories created are relative to the `fileBase.areaStoragePrefix` `config.hjson` setting.
## Message Base Management
The `mb` command provides various Message Base related tools:
```
usage: oputil.js mb <action> [<args>]
actions:
areafix CMD1 CMD2 ... ADDR sends an AreaFix NetMail to ADDR with the supplied command(s)
one or more commands may be supplied. commands that are multi
part such as "%COMPRESS ZIP" should be quoted.
import-areas PATH import areas using fidonet *.NA or AREAS.BBS file from PATH
import-areas args:
--conf CONF_TAG conference tag in which to import areas
--network NETWORK network name/key to associate FTN areas
--uplinks UL1,UL2,... one or more comma separated uplinks
--type TYPE area import type. valid options are "bbs" and "na"
```
| Action | Description | Examples |
|-----------|-------------------|---------------------------------------|
| `import-areas` | Imports areas using a FidoNet style *.NA or AREAS.BBS formatted file. Optionally maps areas to FTN networks. | `./oputil.js config import-areas /some/path/l33tnet.na` |
When using the `import-areas` action, you will be prompted for any missing additional arguments described in "import-areas args".
