#!/usr/bin/env python3 # This helper script makes it easy to use a passwd or group file to map values # in a LOCAL transfer. For instance, if you mount a backup that does not have # the same passwd setup as the local machine, you can do a copy to/from the # backup area as follows and get the differing ID values mapped just like a # remote transfer to/from the backed-up machine would do: # # rsync -av --usermap=`idmap --to /mnt/backup/etc/passwd` \ # --groupmap=`idmap --to /mnt/backup/etc/group` \ # /some/src/ /mnt/backup/some/dest/ # # rsync -av --usermap=`idmap --from /mnt/backup/etc/passwd` \ # --groupmap=`idmap --from /mnt/backup/etc/group` \ # /mnt/backup/some/src/ /some/dest/ import re, fileinput, argparse NAME_ID_RE = re.compile(r'^(\w+):[^:]+:(\d+)') def main(): maps = [ ] for line in fileinput.input(args.files): m = NAME_ID_RE.match(line) if not m: continue if args.to: pair = (m[1], m[2]) else: pair = (m[2], m[1]) maps.append(':'.join(pair)) print(','.join(maps)) if __name__ == '__main__': parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Output usermap or groupmap args for rsync.", add_help=False) action = parser.add_argument_group() action = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group(required=True) action.add_argument("--from", action="store_true", help="Output the map for use on the sending side.") action.add_argument("--to", action="store_true", help="Output the map for use on the receiving side.") parser.add_argument("--help", "-h", action="help", help="Output this help message and exit.") parser.add_argument("files", metavar="FILE", default='-', nargs='*', help="The file(s) that hold the name & id pairs.
