| .TH GDBM_DUMP 1 "May 8, 2013" "GDBM" "GDBM User Reference" | |
| .SH NAME | |
| gdbm_dump \- dump a GDBM database to a file | |
| .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| \fBgdbm_dump\fR [\fB\-H \fIFMT\fR] [\fB\-\-format\fR=\fIFMT\fR] \fIDB_FILE\fR [\fIFILE\fR] | |
| .sp | |
| \fBgdbm_dump\fR [\fB\-Vh\fR] [\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fB\-\-usage\fR] [\fB\-\-version\fR] | |
| .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| The | |
| .B gdbm_dump | |
| utility creates a dump of the specified | |
| .BR gdbm (3) | |
| database file. The name for the output dump file is supplied by the | |
| second argument (\fIFILE\fR). If not specified, the output goes to | |
| the standard error. | |
| .PP | |
| The created dump can be given as argument to the | |
| .BR gdbm_load (1) | |
| utility in order to re-create an exact copy of the \fIDB_FILE\fR. | |
| .SH OPTIONS | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-H\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR=\fIFMT\fR | |
| Select dump format. The value \fBbinary\fR (or \fB0\fR) instructs | |
| .B gdbm_dump | |
| to produce a binary dump, compatible with earlier | |
| .B gdbm | |
| versions (up to version 1.9). The value \fBascii\fR (or \fB1\fR) | |
| 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 | |
| .BR gdbm_load (1) | |
| to recreate an exact copy of the file. | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR | |
| Print a short usage summary. | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-\-usage\fR | |
| Print a list of available options. | |
| .TP | |
| \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR | |
| Print program version | |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
| .BR gdbm_load (1), | |
| .BR gdbmtool (1), | |
| .BR gdbm (3). | |
