NAME

       ovdb_stat - Display information from the ovdb database

SYNOPSYS

       ovdb_stat -Hgci [-r artnumrange] newsgroup [newsgroup ...]

       ovdb_stat -Hklmtv [-d database]

DESCRIPTION

       ovdb_stat displays information from the ovdb database:  Berkeley DB statistics, newsgroup data, and overview records; and optionally
       outputs in HTML format.

OPTIONS

       -g  Newsgroup himark, lowmark, article count, and flag for the given newsgroups (as stored in the ovdb "groupinfo" database) are displayed.

       -c  Similar to -g, except the himark, lowmark, and count are calculated by actually scanning the overview records and counting them.  This
	   can be a lengthy operation on groups with lots of articles.

       -i  Internal data regarding the given newsgroups are displayed.

       -r artnumrange
	   Overview records are retrieved.  The artnumrange parameter may be a single article number, or a range of articles in the format
	   "low-hi".

       -H  Output is presented in HTML format.

       -k  Displays lock region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB lock_stat() call.

       -l  Displays log region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB log_stat() call.

       -m  Displays global memory pool statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB memp_stat() call.

       -M  Same as -m, and also displays memory pool statistics for each database file.

       -t  Displays log region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB txn_stat() call.

       -v  Displays ovdb version, and Berkeley DB version.

       -d database
	   Displays information about the given database, as returned by the Berkeley DB db->stat() call.  This operation may take a long time on
	   busy systems (several minutes or more).

WARNINGS

       ovdb_stat may be safely killed with the INT, TERM, or HUP signals.  It catches those signals and exits cleanly.	Do not kill ovdb_stat with
       other signals, unless absolutely necessary, because it may leave stale locks in the DB environment.

NAME

     db_stat

SYNOPSIS

     db_stat -d file [-fN] [-h home] [-P password] [-s database]
     db_stat [-celmNrtVZ] [-C Aclmop] [-h home] [-M Ahm] [-P password]

DESCRIPTION

     The db_stat utility utility displays statistics for Berkeley DB environments.

     The options are as follows:

     -C
	Display internal information about the lock region. (The output from this option is often both voluminous and meaningless, and is intended
	only for debugging.)

	A  Display all information.

	c  Display lock conflict matrix.

	l  Display lockers within hash chains.

	m  Display region memory information.

	o  Display objects within hash chains.

	p  Display lock region parameters.

     -c
	Display lock region statistics, as described in DB_ENV->lock_stat.

     -d
	Display database statistics for the specified file, as described in DB->stat.

	If the database contains multiple databases and the -s flag is not specified, the statistics are for the internal database that describes
	the other databases the file contains, and not for the file as a whole.

     -e
	Display current environment statistics.

     -f
	Display only those database statistics that can be acquired without traversing the database.

     -h
	Specify a home directory for the database environment; by default, the current working directory is used.

     -l
	Display log region statistics, as described in DB_ENV->log_stat.

     -M
	Display internal information about the shared memory buffer pool. (The output from this option is often both voluminous and meaningless,
	and is intended only for debugging.)

	A  Display all information.

	h  Display buffers within hash chains.

	m  Display region memory information.

     -m
	Display shared memory buffer pool statistics, as described in DB_ENV->memp_stat.

     -N
	Do not acquire shared region mutexes while running. Other problems, such as potentially fatal errors in Berkeley DB, will be ignored as
	well. This option is intended only for debugging errors, and should not be used under any other circumstances.

     -P
	Specify an environment password. Although Berkeley DB utilities overwrite password strings as soon as possible, be aware there may be a
	window of vulnerability on systems where unprivileged users can see command-line arguments or where utilities are not able to overwrite
	the memory containing the command-line arguments.

     -r
	Display replication statistics, as described in DB_ENV->rep_stat.

     -s
	Display statistics for the specified database contained in the file specified with the -d flag.

     -t
	Display transaction region statistics, as described in DB_ENV->txn_stat.

     -V
	Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.

     -Z
	Reset the statistics after reporting them; valid only with the -c, -e, -l, -m, and -t options.

     Values normally displayed in quantities of bytes are displayed as a combination of gigabytes (GB), megabytes (MB), kilobytes (KB), and bytes
     (B). Otherwise, values smaller than 10 million are displayed without any special notation, and values larger than 10 million are displayed as
     a number followed by "M".

     The db_stat utility may be used with a Berkeley DB environment (as described for the -h option, the environment variable DB_HOME, or because
     the utility was run in a directory containing a Berkeley DB environment). In order to avoid environment corruption when using a Berkeley DB
     environment, db_stat should always be given the chance to detach from the environment and exit gracefully. To cause db_stat to release all
     environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).

     The db_stat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT

     DB_HOME  If the -h option is not specified and the environment variable DB_HOME is set, it is used as the path of the database home, as
	      described in DB_ENV->open.
