# `lsb2rdf`

## Name

`lsb2rdf` -- parse boot scripts for special-purpose comments, generating xml/rdf output

## Synopsis

lsb2rdf {`file`...}

## DESCRIPTION

lsb2rdf parses files looking for special-purpose sh-style comments. An xml/rdf document is generated and sent to standard output. The document is a collection of rdf statements describing services, dependencies and other meta-data associated with each `file`.

The serel daemon sereld uses collections of lsb2rdf-generated xml/rdf documents in responding to serelhistory queries.

For the syntax expected of the boot script comments, see the STANDARDS selection below.

## STANDARDS

Linux Standard Base Specification, Section 19. System Initialization, Comment conventions for init scripts, http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.1.0/gLSB/initscrcomconv.html

## EXIT STATUS

0 if all files were parsed without error, 1 otherwise.

## EXAMPLE

Example 1. lsb2rdf parsing the sendmail boot script

The sendmail boot script: eg, `/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail`

    # This script starts sendmail
    ### BEGIN INIT INFO
    # Provides: sendmail
    # Required-Start: network syslog
    ### END INIT INFO
    #
    # ... start and stop sendmail

`lsb2rdf `/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail``

generates the following output:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
