7.2 Import tool

The import tool imports data conforming to the Daisy import/export format into a Daisy repository. This data will usually be created with the export tool, but this is not a requirement, the data simply needs to conform to the required format and might hence be produced manually or by custom tools.

For a basic usage scenario see the introduction.

To see all command line arguments supported by the import tool, execute:

daisy-import -h

7.2.1 About versions

You should by preference use the version of the import tool corresponding with the repository server to which you are importing, otherwise it might not work. The import tool will check this is the case, though this check can be circumvented using the -s argument.
