config_data

config_data [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
(No standard syntax documented; command not found in typical systems.)

The config_data command does not appear to be a standard Linux utility included in major distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or Arch Linux. Extensive checks of common man pages, package repositories, and coreutils do not yield a matching executable.

It may refer to a custom script, a component within a specific application (e.g., related to Perl's Config::Data module or embedded systems like Yocto builds), or a misspelling of commands like dconf, gsettings, dpkg-reconfigure, or kernel's menuconfig. In some contexts, 'config_data' could be an internal function or data file handler, but no standalone command-line tool exists in standard PATH.

If encountered in error messages or scripts, it might be from third-party software. Users should verify their system's package list with dpkg -S config_data or yum provides config_data. Without official documentation, usage is undefined and potentially risky. For configuration management, consider established tools like systemd units or etckeeper.

This lack of standardization highlights Linux's modular nature, where niche tools emerge in specialized environments.

Not a recognized standard command; attempting config_data --help or man config_data will likely fail with 'command not found'. Verify context or package source before use. Potential security risks from unverified scripts.

Use dconf dump/load for desktop configs, dpkg-trigger for package triggers, or systemctl edit for services.

Check which config_data or locate config_data. If in a script, inspect source code.

No documented history; absent from coreutils, busybox, or major distro timelines. Possibly project-specific since ~2010s in build systems.
