NAME

gdbm_dump - dump a GDBM database to a file

SYNOPSIS

gdbm_dump [ -H FMT ] [ --format = FMT ] DB_FILE [ FILE ]

gdbm_dump [ -Vh ] [ --help ] [ --usage ] [ --version ]

DESCRIPTION

The gdbm_dump utility creates a dump of the specified gdbm (3) database file. The name for the output dump file is supplied by the second argument ( FILE ). If not specified, the output goes to the standard error.

The created dump can be given as argument to the gdbm_load (1) utility in order to re-create an exact copy of the DB_FILE .

OPTIONS

-H , --format = FMT

Select dump format. The value binary (or 0 ) instructs gdbm_dump to produce a binary dump, compatible with earlier gdbm versions (up to version 1.9). The value ascii (or 1 ) instructs it to create an ASCII dump (this is the default). The latter is preferred because, apart from the actual data, it also contains meta-information which will allow gdbm_load (1) to recreate an exact copy of the file.

-h , --help

Print a short usage summary.

--usage

Print a list of available options.

-V , --version

Print program version
