NAME¶
gwu - Dump a GeneWeb database
SYNOPSIS¶
gwu [
options ] <
base_file >
DESCRIPTION¶
gwu dumps the contents of the
GeneWeb database to standard output.
It's a good way to backup the database in a neutral form, and can facilitate
upgrades to new software.
The primary documentation of
gwu is in the HTML documentation, which you
can find in the documentation directory (/usr/share/doc/geneweb on Debian
systems).
Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.
OPTIONS¶
- -help
- command-line help
- -o <file>
- output file name (else stdout)
- -odir <dir>
- create files from original name in directory (else on -o
file)
- -mem
- save memory space, but slower
- -a <1st_name> [num] <surname>
- select ancestors of ...
- -d <1st_name> [num] <surname>
- select descendants of ...
- -ad <1st_name> [num] <surname>
- select ancestors of ... and all their descendants (has no
effect if -a and/or -d used, option -nsp is forced).
- -aws <1st_name> [num] <surname>
- select ancestors with siblings
- -s <surname>
- select this surname (option usable several times)
- -nsp
- no spouses' parents (for options -s and -d)
- -nn
- no (database) notes
- -c <num>
- When a person is born less than <num> years ago, it
is not exported unless it is Public. All the spouses and descendants are
also censored.
- -sep 1st_name.num surname
- To use together with the option "-odir": separate
this person and all his ancestors and descendants sharing the same
surname. All the concerned families are displayed on standard output
instead of their associated files. This option can be used several
times.
- -sep_only_file <file>
- With option "-sep", tells to separate only groups
of that file.
- -sep_limit <num>
- When using the option "-sep", groups of families
can become isolated in the files. Gwu reconnects them to the separated
families (i.e. displays them to standard output) if the size of these
groups is less than 21. The present option changes this limit.
