0007 edb_load - LMDB/EXDB environment import tool
0008
0009
0010 SYNOPSIS
0011 --------
0012 *edb_load* [*-a*] [*-V*] [*-f* 'file'] [*-n*] [*-s* 'subdb'] [*-N*] [*-T*] 'envpath'
0013
0014
0015 DESCRIPTION
0016 -----------
0017 The *edb_load* utility reads from the standard input and loads it into the
0018 EXDB environment envpath.
0019
0020 The input to *edb_load* must be in the output format specified by the *edb_dump(8)*
0021 utility or as specified by the *-T* option below.
0022
0023
0024 OPTIONS
0025 -------
0026
0027 [*-a*]::
0028 Append all records in the order they appear in the input. The input is
0029 assumed to already be in correctly sorted order and no sorting or checking for
0030 redundant values will be performed. This option must be used to
0031 reload data that was produced by running edb_dump on a
0032 database that uses custom compare functions.
0033
0034 [*-V*]::
0035 Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
0036
0037 [*-f*]:: 'file'
0038 Read from the specified file instead of from the standard input.
0039
0040 [*-n*]::
0041 Load an EXDB database which does not use subdirectories.
0042
0043 [*-s*]:: 'subdb'
0044 Load a specific subdatabase. If no database is specified,
0045 data is loaded into the main database.
0046
0047 [*-N*]::
0048 Don't overwrite existing records when loading into an already existing database;
0049 just skip them.
0050
0051 [*-T*]::
0052 Load data from simple text files. The input must be paired lines of text,
0053 where the first line of the pair is the key item, and the second line of the
0054 pair is its corresponding data item.
0055
0056 A simple escape mechanism, where newline and backslash (\) characters are
0057 special, is applied to the text input. Newline characters are interpreted as
0058 record separators. Backâslash characters in the text will be
0059 interpreted in one of two ways: If the backslash character precedes another
0060 backslash character, the pair will be interpreted as a literal backslash.
0061 If the backslash character precedes any other character, the two characters
0062 following the backslash will be interpreted as a hexadecimal specification
0063 of a single character; for example, \0a is a newline character in the ASCII
0064 character set.
0065
0066 For this reason, any backslash or newline characters that naturally
0067 occur in the text input must be escaped to avoid misinterpretation by *edb_load*.
0068
0069
0070 EXIT STATUS
0071 -----------
0072 Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit
0073 status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
