DESCRIPTION

17       Create  a  gdbm  database file DB_FILE from the dump file FILE.  If the
18       FILE argument is not supplied, output the created database to the stan‐
19       dard error.
20
21       If  the  input  file is in ASCII dump format, the mode and ownership of
22       the created database are restored from the  information  in  the  dump.
23       This can be overridden using the command line options (see below).
