DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
dptsv commands.
The command
dptsv features mutual conversion between a database of Depot

of QDBM or another DBM, or when data exchange between systems which have
different byte orders. This command is used in the above format.

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. The subcommand
import writes TSV data to
the standard output.

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the

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

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