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 chapters
|
||
= for sections
|
||
- for subsections
|
||
^ for subsubsections
|
||
" for paragraphs

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 initializing a repository multiple
|
||
times. The command ``cat config`` may be used for this purpose:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ restic -r /srv/restic-repo cat config
|
||
Fatal: 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 will return a non-zero exit code
|
||
and print an error message. Note that restic will also return a non-zero
|
||
exit code 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.
