NAME

6       pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       "pdbdump" [options] filename
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "pdbdump" reads a PalmOS .pdb file, parses it, and prints its contents.
13       This includes both a hex dump of the raw data of each piece, and a
14       human-readable list of the various values, insofar as possible.  The
15       aim of "pdbdump" is to allow one to verify whether a particular file is
16       a well-formed PalmOS database file and if not, where the error lies.
17
18       If the database is of a known type, "pdbdump" parses the AppInfo block
19       and records. Otherwise, it simply prints out a hex dump of their
20       contents. "pdbdump" includes, by default, support for most of the
21       built-in applications. Other helper modules may be loaded with the "-M"
22       option.
23

OPTIONS

25       -h -help --help
26           Print a usage message and exit.
27
28       -nohex
29           Don't print the hex dump of the various parts.
30
31       -Mmodule
32           "use" the named module. This can be useful for loading additional
33           helper modules.
34

BUGS

36       "pdbdump" only recognizes record databases (".pdb" files), not resource
37       databases (".prc" files).
