cldump - Clarion database extractor

cldump was written by Julien BLACHE <jb@jblache.org>.

       The  SQL  output  could  be  improved.  Not  all  the  types supported by the Clarion database format are
       implemented yet (due to lack of test databases using these types  of  data);  see  the  source  code  for
       details.

       Please  report  bugs  to  jb@jblache.org; if possible, please send patches as the set of test databases I
       have is very limited.

cldump  extracts  the data contained in a Clarion database; Clarion is a Windows IDE similar to Delphi or
       others, and has its own (simple) database format.

       cldump can extract the data contained in such a database, and  export  it  to  CSV,  SQL  (including  the
       database schema, keys and indexes) or its own format (this format will give you all the meta information,
       but isn't easily parsable).

       A Clarion database consists in a set of files :

       .DAT   files contain the data,

       .Kxx   files contain the key/index data,

       .MEM   files contain the memo entries associated to the data.

-xn, --decryptn
              Decrypt  an  encrypted  file.  Required  argument  n  indicates the location where the key will be
              retrieved. Valid values are in the range 1 - 4 inclusive. n = 1 usually works.

              Decryption happens in-place so KEEPABACKUP as there is no guarantee the decryption process won't
              fail. Encrypted files must be decrypted before they can be dumped.

              Note that only the data file and the memo file are decrypted in this process; key/index files  are
              left untouched as cldump doesn't use them.

       -d, --dump-active
              Dump active entries only

       -D, --dump-data
              Dump the actual data (active and deleted entries)

       -m, --dump-meta
              Dump meta information (no SQL or CSV output format exist for this option)

       -fc, --field-separatorc
              Set the field separator to character c. Only valid for CSV output (see below).

       -c, --csv
              Dump data or schema in CSV format

       -S, --sql
              Dump data or schema in SQL format

       -s, --schema
              Dump database schema

       -M, --mysql
              Use MySQL specific construct (backticks, ...)

       -n, --no-memo
              Do not dump memo entries

       -U[charset], --utf8[=charset]
              Transcode  strings and memos from charset to UTF-8 (charset defaults to ISO8859-1; for the list of
              supported charsets, see iconv--list)

cldump outputs the data to stdout or stderr depending on the output format selected, the data to  extract
       and the type of the data (data, meta data).
