gdbm_dump - dump a GDBM database to a file

Description

       The  gdbm_dump  utility  creates  a dump of the specified gdbm(3) database file.  The name for the output
       dump file is supplied by the second argument (FILE).  If not specified, the output goes to  the  standard
       error.

       The created dump can be given as argument to the gdbm_load(1) utility in order to re-create an exact copy
       of the DB_FILE.

Name

       gdbm_dump - dump a GDBM database to a file

Options

-H, --format=FMT
              Select  dump  format.   The  value  binary  (or  0)  instructs gdbm_dump to produce a binary dump,
              compatible with earlier gdbm versions (up to version 1.9).  The value ascii (or 1) instructs it to
              create an ASCII dump (this is the default).  The latter  is  preferred  because,  apart  from  the
              actual  data, it also contains meta-information which will allow gdbm_load(1) to recreate an exact
              copy of the file.

       -h, --help
              Print a short usage summary.

       --usage
              Print a list of available options.

       -V, --version
              Print program version
