Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is
|
|
determined from the succession of headings. However, this convention is used in Python's
|
|
Style Guide for documenting which you may follow:
|
|
|
|
# with overline, for parts

= for sections

Scripting
|
|
#########################
|
|
|
|
This is a list of how certain tasks may be accomplished when you use
|
|
restic via scripts.
|
|
|
|
Check if a repository is already initialized
|
|
********************************************
|
|
|
|
You may find a need to check if a repository is already initialized,
|
|
perhaps to prevent your script from trying to initialize a repository multiple
|
|
times (the ``init`` command contains a check to prevent overwriting existing
|
|
repositories). The command ``cat config`` may be used for this purpose:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ restic -r /srv/restic-repo cat config
|
|
Fatal: repository does not exist: unable to open config file: stat /srv/restic-repo/config: no such file or directory
|
|
Is there a repository at the following location?
|
|
/srv/restic-repo
|
|
|
|
If a repository does not exist, restic (since 0.17.0) will return exit code ``10``
|
|
and print a corresponding error message. Older versions return exit code ``1``.
|
|
Note that restic will also return exit code ``1`` if a different error is encountered
|
|
(e.g.: incorrect password to ``cat config``) and it may print a different error message.
|
|
If there are no errors, restic will return a zero exit code and print the repository
|
|
metadata.
|
|
|
|
.. _exit-codes:
|
|
|
|
Exit codes
|
|
**********
|
|
|
|
Restic commands return an exit code that signals whether the command was successful.
|
|
The following table provides a general description, see the help of each command for
|
|
a more specific description.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
New exit codes will be added over time. If an unknown exit code is returned, then it
|
|
MUST be treated as a command failure.
|
|
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 0 | Command was successful |
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 1 | Command failed, see command help for more details |
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 2 | Go runtime error |
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 3 | ``backup`` command could not read some source data |
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 10 | Repository does not exist (since restic 0.17.0) |
|
|

|
|
| 11 | Failed to lock repository (since restic 0.17.0) |
|
|

|
|
| 12 | Wrong password (since restic 0.17.1) |
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| 130 | Restic was interrupted using SIGINT or SIGSTOP |
|
|
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
JSON output
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
Restic outputs JSON data to ``stdout`` if requested with the ``--json`` flag.
|
|
The structure of that data varies depending on the circumstance. The
|
|
JSON output of most restic commands are documented here.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Not all commands support JSON output. If a command does not support JSON output,
|
|
feel free to submit a pull request!
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
We try to keep the JSON output backwards compatible. However, new message types
|
|
or fields may be added at any time. Similarly, enum-like fields for which a fixed
|
|
list of allowed values is documented may be extended at any time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exit errors
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Fatal errors will result in a final JSON message on ``stderr`` before the process exits.
|
|
It will hold the error message and the exit code.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Some errors cannot be caught and reported this way,
|
|
such as Go runtime errors or command line parsing errors.
|
|
|
|
+------------------+-----------------------------+--------+
|
|
| ``message_type`` | Always "exit_error" | string |
|
|
+------------------+-----------------------------+--------+
|
|
| ``code`` | Exit code (see above chart) | int |
|
|
+------------------+-----------------------------+--------+
|
|
| ``message`` | Error message | string |
|
|
+------------------+-----------------------------+--------+
|
|
|
|
Output formats
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Commands print their main JSON output on ``stdout``.
|
|
The generated JSON output uses one of the following two formats.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Not all messages and errors have been converted to JSON yet.
|
|
Feel free to submit a pull request!
|
|
|
|
The datatypes specified in the following sections roughly correspond to the underlying
|
|
Go types and are mapped to the JSON types as follows:
|
|
|
|
- ``int32``, ``int64``, ``uint32``, ``uint64`` and ``float64`` are encoded as number.
|
|
- ``bool`` and ``string`` correspond to the respective types.
|
|
- ``[]`` in front of a type indicates that the field is an array of the respective type.
|
|
- ``time.Time`` is encoded as a string in RFC3339 format.
|
|
- ``time.Duration`` is encoded as an ``int64`` number of nanoseconds.
|
|
- ``os.FileMode`` is encoded as an ``uint32``.
|
|
|
|
If a field contains a default value like ``0`` or ``""``, may not be included in the JSON output.
|
|
|
|
Single JSON document
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Several commands output a single JSON document that can be parsed in its entirety.
|
|
Depending on the command, the output consists of either a single or multiple lines.
|
|
|
|
JSON lines
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Several commands, in particular long running ones or those that generate a large output,
|
|
use a format also known as JSON lines. It consists of a stream of new-line separated JSON
|
|
messages. You can determine the nature of the message using the ``message_type`` field.
|
|
|
|
backup
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The ``backup`` command uses the JSON lines format with the following message types.

|
|
|
|
The ``find`` command outputs a single JSON document containing an array of JSON
|
|
objects with matches for your search term. These matches are organized by snapshot.
|
|
|
|
If the ``--blob`` or ``--tree`` option is passed, then the output is an array of

`Blob objects`_.

forget
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The ``forget`` command prints a single JSON document containing an array of
|
|
ForgetGroups. If specific snapshot IDs are specified, then no output is generated.
|
|
|
|
The ``prune`` command does not yet support JSON such that ``forget --prune``
|
|
results in a mix of JSON and text output.
