NAME¶
cookietool - program to operate cookie (fortune) database
SYNOPSIS¶
cookietool [
options]
<database>
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
cookietool command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has some plaintext
documentation, see below.
cookietool is a program that should be used to sort, clear and maintain
cookie database in standard
fortune(6) format, i.e. list of
cookies
delimited with line containing a single percent ('
%') char.
cookietool can now understand another formats and convert cookie
database between them.
