NAME

	scc-collect - collect system configuration in a SCC-snapshot

RELEASE

	scc-win	1.10.38

SYNOPSIS

	scc-collect [ --extra <mod> ]

DESCRIPTION

	This program collects configuration data from a system and writes
	it to stdout as a SCC-snapshot. A snapshot is a file containing 
	configuration data. Each line of configuration-data is prefixed with
	a classification. Refer to scc-win(4) for a detailed description of the
	format of the contents of a snapshot.

	Part of the classification is an indicator whether the data is fixed 
	or variable. This makes it possible to compare snapshots and report 
	any difference in the configuration data that was supposed to be fixed.

	The entire process of creating a new snapshot, comparing it with the
	previous one and adding the differences to a logbook is done by 
	scc-log(1).

ARGUMENTS

	None.

OPTIONS

	--extra <mod>	Execute additional, user modules.

RETURN VALUE

	Upon completion, the program returns one of the following values:

		0 successful completion
		2 runtime error
