       The  command `tcfmgr' is a utility for test and debugging of the fixed-length database API and its applications.  `path' specifies the path
       of a database file.  `width' specifies the width of the value of each record.  `limsiz' specifies the limit  size  of  the  database  file.
       `key' specifies the key of a record.  `value' specifies the value of a record.  `file' specifies the input file.

	      tcfmgr create path [width [limsiz]]
		     Create a database file.
	      tcfmgr inform [-nl|-nb] path
		     Print miscellaneous information to the standard output.
	      tcfmgr put [-nl|-nb] [-sx] [-dk|-dc|-dai|-dad] path key value
		     Store a record.
	      tcfmgr out [-nl|-nb] [-sx] path key
		     Remove a record.
	      tcfmgr get [-nl|-nb] [-sx] [-px] [-pz] path key
		     Print the value of a record.
	      tcfmgr list [-nl|-nb] [-m num] [-pv] [-px] [-rb lkey ukey] [-ri str] path
		     Print keys of all records, separated by line feeds.
	      tcfmgr optimize [-nl|-nb] path [width [limsiz]]
		     Optimize a database file.

	      -sx : the input data is evaluated as a hexadecimal data string.
	      -dk : use the function `tcfdbputkeep' instead of `tcfdbput'.

	      -dai : use the function `tcfdbaddint' instead of `tcfdbput'.

	      -px : the output data is converted into a hexadecimal data string.
	      -pz : do not append line feed at the end of the output.
	      -m num : specify the maximum number of the output.
	      -pv : print values of records also.
	      -rb lkey ukey : specify the range of keys.
