makedbz

MAKEDBZ(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MAKEDBZ(8)

NAME

       makedbz - rebuild dbz files

SYNOPSIS

       makedbz [ -f filename ] [ -i ] [ -o ] [ -s size ]

DESCRIPTION

       Makedbz	rebuilds dbz(3) database.  The default name of the text file is <pathdb in inn.conf>/history; to specify a different name, use the
       ``-f'' flag.

OPTIONS

       -f     If the ``-f'' flag is used, then the database files are named file.dir , file.index and file.hash.  If the ``-f'' flag is not  used,
	      then  a temporary link to the name history.n is made and the database files are written as history.n.index , history.n.hash and his-
	      tory.n.dir.

       -i     To ignore the old database use the ``-i'' flag.  Using the ``-o'' or ``-s'' flag implies the ``-i'' flag.

       -o     If the ``-o'' flag is used, then the link is not made and any existing history files are overwritten.  If the old  database  exists,
	      makedbz will use it to determine the size of the new database.

       -s     The  program  will  also	ignore any old database if the ``-s'' flag is used to specify the approximate number of entries in the new
	      database.  Accurately specifying the size is an optimization that will create a more efficient database.	(The size  should  be  the
	      estimated  eventual size of the file, typically the size of the old file.)  For more information, see the discussion of dbzfresh and
	      dbzsize in dbz(3).
