Interface with the community descriptions database (descriptions)

The descriptions commands allows interfacing the community descriptions knowledge-base with its local copy. This command is implemented with further subcommands, which you need to choose from.

Update the community descriptions database (update)

descriptions update()

Check if the description project’s repository has a newer version available. If so, download, extract and install the data contained therein. Subsequent calls to Envprobe will behave according to the new information.

Possible invocations
  • envprobe config descriptions update

  • epc descriptions update

Important

This command requires Internet access, and will connect to GitHub to download the new information.

Note

The local settings of the user for a variable will take priority, and are stored in a location separate from where the community descriptions are stored.
