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).

makedbz - Rebuild dbz files
SYNOPSIS
makedbz [-io] [-f filename] [-s size]
DESCRIPTION
makedbz rebuilds dbz(3) database. The default name of the text file is pathdb/history; to specify a different name, use the -f flag.
OPTIONS -f filename
If the -f flag is used, then the database files are named "filename.dir", "filename.index", and "filename.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 "history.n.dir".
-i To ignore the old database, use the -i flag. Using the -o or -s flags 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 size
makedbz 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. Size is measured in key-value pairs
(i.e. lines). (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).

I've been working on getting a script to take size, dir name and file name variables from an input file and creating the same dir structure along with the file of specific size.

Hi everyone,
I've got an extensive collection of seismic files that I am trying to turn into workable subsurface data collection. It's all real-time history and it is being loaded onto the main linux computer from a collection of about 1000 CDs. There are about 4000 seismic files on each CD, and... (3 Replies)
