NAME¶
cdbget - search for a record in a constant database
SYNOPSIS¶
cdbget key [
skip ]
DESCRIPTION¶
cdbget searches for a record with key
key in a constant database.
The constant database must be readable (and seekable) on
cdbget's
standard input.
Normally
cdbget prints the data in the first record with key
key
and exits 0. If there is no record with the key
key,
cdbget
exits 100 without printing anything.
If
cdbget encounters a read error, write error, or database format error,
it complains and exits 111.
Given a numeric
skip argument,
cdbget skips past the first
skip records with key
key, and prints the data in the next
record.
