DLB(6)								   Games Manual 							    DLB(6)

NAME

       dlb - NetHack data librarian

SYNOPSIS

       dlb { xct } [ vfIC ] arguments...  [ files...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Dlb  is	a file archiving tool in the spirit (and tradition) of tar for NetHack version 3.1 and higher.	It is used to maintain the archive
       files from which NetHack reads special level files and other read-only information.  Note that like tar the command and	option	specifiers
       are specified as a continuous string and are followed by any arguments required in the same order as the option specifiers.

       This facility is optional and may be excluded during NetHack configuration.

COMMANDS

       The x command causes dlb to extract the contents of the archive into the current directory.

       The c command causes dlb to create a new archive from files in the current directory.

       The t command lists the files in the archive.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

       v	   verbose output

       f archive   specify the archive.  Default if f not specified is LIBFILE (usually the nhdat file in the playground).

       I  lfile     specify  the  file containing the list of files to put in to or extract from the archive if no files are listed on the command
       line.  Default for archive creation if no files are listed is LIBLISTFILE.

       C dir	   change directory.  Changes directory before trying to read any files (including the archive and the lfile).

EXAMPLES

       Create the default archive from the default file list:
		   dlb c

       List the contents of the archive 'foo':
		   dlb tf foo

BUGS

       Not a good tar emulation; - does not mean stdin or stdout.  Should include an optional compression facility.  Not all read-only	files  for
       NetHack can be read out of an archive; examining the source is the only way to know which files can be.
