crtsv

CRTSV(1)						      Quick Database Manager							  CRTSV(1)

NAME

       crtsv - mutual converter between TSV and QDBM Curia database

SYNOPSIS

       crtsv import [-bnum num] [-dnum num] [-bin] name
       crtsv export [-bin] name

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the crtsv commands.

       The  command  crtsv  features  mutual conversion between a database of Curia and a TSV text. This command is useful when data exchange with
       another version of QDBM or another DBM, or when data exchange between systems which have different byte orders. This command is used in the
       above  format. name specifies a database name. The subcommand export reads TSV data from the standard input.  If a key overlaps, the latter
       is adopted. -bnum specifies the number of the elements of the bucket array. -dnum specifies the number of division  of  the  database.  The
       subcommand import writes TSV data to the standard output.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.	For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#curiacli.

       -bnum num
	      specify the number of the elements of the bucket array.

       -dnum num
	      specify the number of division of the database.

       -bin   treat records as Base64 format.

EXAMPLES

       For example, to make a database to search `/etc/password' by a user name, perform the following command.
	   cat /etc/passwd | tr ':' '' | crtsv import casket

       Thus, to retrieve the information of a user `mikio', perform the following command.
	   crmgr get casket mikio
