MTBL_DUMP(1)MTBL_DUMP(1)NAME
mtbl_dump - print key-value entries from an MTBL file
SYNOPSIS
mtbl_dump FILE
DESCRIPTION mtbl_dump(1) prints all key-value entries from an MTBL file to stdout, in file order. Each entry is printed on its own line, with double
quotes surrounding the key and the value, with a single space character separating the two. Unprintable characters and embedded double
quote characters are escaped using the Python string literal syntax.

DESCRIPTION
MTBL files are written to disk by creating an mtbl_writer object, calling mtbl_writer_add() for each key-value entry, and then calling
mtbl_writer_destroy().
mtbl_writer_add() copies key-value pairs from the caller into the mtbl_writer object. Keys are specified as a pointer to a buffer, key, and
the length of that buffer, len_key. Values are specified as a pointer to a buffer, val, and the length of that buffer, len_val.
Keys must be in sorted, lexicographical byte order. The same key may not be added to an mtbl_writer more than once. If the input entries
are not sorted or may contain duplicate keys, then the mtbl_sorter(3) interface should be used instead.
mtbl_writer objects may be created by calling mtbl_writer_init() with an fname argument specifying a filename to be created. The filename
must not already exist on the filesystem. Or, mtbl_writer_init_fd() may be called with an fd argument specifying an open, writable file
descriptor. No data may have been written to the file descriptor.
If the wopt parameter to mtbl_writer_init() or mtbl_writer_init_fd() is non-NULL, the parameters specified in the mtbl_writer_options
object will be configured into the mtbl_writer object.
Writer options
compression
Specifies the compression algorithm to use on data blocks. Possible values are MTBL_COMPRESSION_NONE, MTBL_COMPRESSION_SNAPPY, or
MTBL_COMPRESSION_ZLIB (the default).
block_size
The maximum size of uncompressed data blocks, specified in bytes. The default is 8 kilobytes.
block_restart_interval
How frequently to restart intra-block key prefix compression. The default is every 16 keys.
RETURN VALUE
mtbl_writer_init() and mtbl_writer_init_fd() return NULL on failure, and non-NULL on success.
mtbl_writer_add() returns mtbl_res_success if the key-value entry was successfully copied into the mtbl_writer object, and mtbl_res_failure
if not, for instance if there has been a key-ordering violation.
