NAME

twprint - Tripwire database and report printer

SYNOPSIS

twprint { -m r | --print-report } [ options... ]
twprint { -m d | --print-dbfile } [ options... ]

[ object1 [ object2... ]]

DESCRIPTION

Prints Tripwire database and report files in clear text format.

Report Printing mode

In Report Printing mode, twprint verifies and displays the contents of a Tripwire report file (.twr). If no report is specified on the command line, the report specified in the REPORTFILE variable in the configuration file will be used. By default, this value includes the date and time to the nearest second. Because this value is constantly changing, twprint may not be able to find the correct report file. For this reason, the (-r or --twrfile) flag should be used with the desired report name to print a specific report.

Database Printing mode

This option is used to print a Tripwire database file in human-readable (clear text) form. In Database Printing mode, twprint verifies and prints the contents of a specified database to stdout. If no database file is specified on the command line, the default database specified by the DBFILE variable in the configuration file is used.
