SYNOPSIS
nsscache [global options] command [command options]DESCRIPTION
nsscache synchronises a local NSS cache against a remote data source. This approach allows the administrator to separate the network from the NSS lookup codepath, improving speed and reliability of name services.OPTIONS

- enable verbose output
- -d, --debug
- enable debugging output
- -c FILE, --config-file=FILE
- read configuration from FILE
- --version
- show program's version number and exit
- -h, --help
- show this help message and exit
COMMANDS
