NAME¶
pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
SYNOPSIS¶
"pdbdump"
[options] filename
DESCRIPTION¶
"pdbdump" reads a PalmOS
.pdb file, parses it, and prints its
contents. This includes both a hex dump of the raw data of each piece, and a
human-readable list of the various values, insofar as possible. The aim of
"pdbdump" is to allow one to verify whether a particular file is a
well-formed PalmOS database file and if not, where the error lies.
If the database is of a known type, "pdbdump" parses the AppInfo block
and records. Otherwise, it simply prints out a hex dump of their contents.
"pdbdump" includes, by default, support for most of the built-in
applications. Other helper modules may be loaded with the "-M"
option.
OPTIONS¶
- -h -help --help
- Print a usage message and exit.
- -nohex
- Don't print the hex dump of the various parts.
- -Mmodule
- "use" the named module. This can be useful for loading
additional helper modules.
BUGS¶
"pdbdump" only recognizes record databases (".pdb" files),
not resource databases (".prc" files).
