NAME

cdbsplit - program to operate cookie (fortune) database

SYNOPSIS

cdbsplit [ options ] <cookie-database> <hitfile>

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the cdbsplit command.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has some plain text documentation, see below.

cdbsplit is a program that can be used to operate cookie database in various formats, the default is standard fortune(6) format, i.e. list of ’cookies’ delimited with line containing a single percent (’ % ’) char . With ’cdbsplit’ you can split cookie database, or extract parts of it depending on various criteria.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory. NOTE , that default behaviour is to overwrite existing database with its reduced version, so the cookies are MOVED to hitfile. The hitfile is never overwritten, but may be appended to.
[nothing]

Shows summary of options.

-c

case-sensitive comparisons (for both keywords and groups)

-d[0-3]

how fussy about word delimiters? (default: 2)

-k<keyword>

optional keyword

-K<keyword>

-L<max_lines>

-w<chars>

minimal line width (in chars)

-W<chars>

maximal line width (in chars)

-n<min_number>

start at cookie <min_number>

-N<max_number>

stop after <max_number> cookie

-m<chars>

find groups of cookies starting with <n> matching characters (database must be sorted for this to make sense!)

	-x		extract only, don’t modify <cookie-database>
	-a		append, don’t overwrite <hitfile> if such a filename exists

-f[0-3]

input file format - -f3: cookies are separated by ’%%’ lines; -f2: cookies are separated by ’%’ lines (DEFAULT); -f1: each line is a cookie; -f0: each word is a cookie.
