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
|

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
|
||
**********
|
||
|
||
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" |
|
||
+----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||
| ``code`` | Exit code (see above chart) |
|
||
+----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||
| ``message`` | Error message |
|
||
+----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
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!
|
||
|
||
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.
