NAME

6       makedbz - Rebuild dbz files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       makedbz [-io] [-f filename] [-s size]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       makedbz rebuilds dbz(3) database.  The default name of the text file is
13       pathdb/history; to specify a different name, use the -f flag.
14

OPTIONS

16       -f filename
17           If the -f flag is used, then the database files are named
18           "filename.dir", "filename.index", and "filename.hash".  If the -f
19           flag is not used, then a temporary link to the name "history.n" is
20           made and the database files are written as "history.n.index" ,
21           "history.n.hash" and "history.n.dir".
22
23       -i  To ignore the old database, use the -i flag.  Using the -o or -s
24           flags implies the -i flag.
25
26       -o  If the -o flag is used, then the link is not made and any existing
27           history files are overwritten.  If the old database exists, makedbz
28           will use it to determine the size of the new database.
29
30       -s size
31           makedbz will also ignore any old database if the -s flag is used to
32           specify the approximate number of entries in the new database.
33           Accurately specifying the size is an optimization that will create
34           a more efficient database.  Size is measured in key-value pairs
35           (i.e. lines).  (The size should be the estimated eventual size of
36           the file, typically the size of the old file.)
