NAME

       mkzonedb - Utility create a zone file for isdnlog

SYNOPSIS

       mkzonedb -r zonefile -d database [-v] [-V] [-o Oz] [-l len]

DESCRIPTION

       mkzonedb  reads	a  text  file with zone (area code) information, and writes it in a special format to the database file so that other apps
       such as isdnlog can easily access the data.

       This data is used to determine in what "zone" a given area code is in relation to another, to see what rate applies to a call between these
       area codes ("is the call a local call").

       This  utility  is really only used during the building of the isdnlog-data package, but it may be useful for those who want to create their
       own custom tables.

OPTIONS

       -r zonefile
	      the text file with the zone information.	Use "-" for standard input.

       -d database
	      the output database filename

       -v     verbose mode

       -V     show version information, and quit (don't do anything)

       -o Oz  Use "Oz" area zone. Default is 1. (What does this mean, exactly?)

       -l len "len" is the length of areacodes.
	      If 5 or more is given, then more space is allocated for the internal tables (40000 instead of 10000 numbers allowed).  Other  values
	      aren't really used.
