<h1> The s6-rc-set-new program </h1>

<p>
 s6-rc-set-new creates new <a href="repodefs.html#set">sets</a>
in a <a href="repodefs.html#repository">repository</a>.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-rc-set-new [ -v <em>verbosity</em> ] [ -r <em>repo</em> ] <em>setname...</em>
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> For every argument in <em>setname...</em>, s6-rc-set-new creates a
<a href="repodefs.html#set">set</a> with that name, in the repository
<em>repo</em>. Under that set name, it attributes a default
<a href="repodefs.html#rx">rx</a> to every service listed in the
<a href="repodefs.html#store">stores</a>:
  <ul>
   <li> Services with the <em>essential</em> flag are added to the <tt>always</tt> rx </li>
   <li> Services with the <em>recommended</em> flag are added to the <tt>active</tt> rx </li>
   <li> Others are added to the <tt>usable</tt> rx. </li>
  </ul> </li>
 <li> It exits 0. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Options </h2>

<dl>
 <dt> -v <em>verbosity</em>, --verbosity=<em>verbosity</em> </dt>
 <dd> Be more or less verbose. The default is <strong>1</strong>, which means
that error messages and warnings will be written to stderr. 0 means that only
error messages will be written, and 2 or more adds informational messages. </dd>

 <dt> -r <em>repo</em>, --repository=<em>repo</em> </dt>
 <dd> Use the repository in <em>repo</em>, which must exist. Default is
<strong>/var/lib/s6-rc/repository</strong>.
 </dd>
</dl>

<h2> Exit codes </h2>

<dl>
 <dt> 0 </dt> <dd> Success. </dd>
 <dt> 100 </dt> <dd> Incorrect usage. </dd>
 <dt> 111 </dt> <dd> System call failed. </dd>
</dl>

<h2> Notes </h2>

<ul>
 <li> s6-rc-set-new can be called at the user's convenience, but in a typical
installation, two sets are enough: a stable committed set and a working set. </li>
</ul>
