pspp-dump-sav

pspp-dump-sav(1)						    PSPP Manual 						  pspp-dump-sav(1)

NAME

       pspp-dump-sav - dissect SPSS system file

SYNOPSIS

       pspp-dump-sav [-d | --data[=maxcases]] file...
       pspp-dump-sav --help | -h
       pspp-dump-sav --version | -v

DESCRIPTION

       The  pspp-dump-sav program reads each SPSS system file file and prints its contents.  The output format is useful for debugging system file
       readers and writers and for discovering how to interpret unknown or poorly understood records.  End users may find the  output  useful  for
       providing the PSPP developers information about system files that PSPP does not accurately read.

OPTIONS

       -d[maxcases]
       --data[=maxcases]
	      By  default, pspp-dump-sav does not print any of the data in a system file, only the file headers.  Specify this option to print the
	      data as well.  If maxcases is specified, then it limits the number of cases printed.

       -h
       --help Prints a usage message on stdout and exits.

       -v
       --version
	      Prints version information on stdout and exits.

BUGS

       Some errors that prevent files from being interpreted successfully cause pspp-dump-sav to exit without reading any additional  files  given
       on the command line.

AUTHORS

       Ben Pfaff and John Darrington.
