isisdl: Initiate a full synchronization of the database and compute the checksum of every file.
$ isisdl --sync
try on your machine
The command "isisdl --sync" is used to synchronize data from the ISIS database to a local directory.
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "isisdl" is the name of the command that is used to communicate with the ISIS database. It stands for ISIS Data Loader.
- "--sync" is an option or flag that is provided to the "isisdl" command. In this context, it specifies that the command should perform a synchronization operation.
- Synchronization, in the context of this command, refers to copying data from the ISIS database to a local directory to ensure that both the database and the local directory have the same up-to-date data. This is useful when you want to keep a local copy of the database or when you need to work with the data offline.
When you run the "isisdl --sync" command, it will initiate the synchronization process between the ISIS database and the local directory specified. The command will fetch any new or updated data from the database and copy it to the local directory, ensuring that both data sets are consistent.
