NAME

10

SYNOPSIS

12       pspp-dump-sav [-d | --data[=maxcases]] file...
13       pspp-dump-sav --help | -h
14       pspp-dump-sav --version | -v

DESCRIPTION

17       The  pspp-dump-sav  program reads each SPSS system file file and prints
18       its contents.  The output format is useful for  debugging  system  file
19       readers  and  writers  and  for discovering how to interpret unknown or
20       poorly understood records.  End users may find the  output  useful  for
21       providing  the PSPP developers information about system files that PSPP
22       does not accurately read.
23

OPTIONS

25       -d[maxcases]
26       --data[=maxcases]
27              By default, pspp-dump-sav does not print any of the  data  in  a
28              system  file,  only  the  file  headers.  Specify this option to
29              print the data as well.  If maxcases is specified, then it  lim‐
30              its the number of cases printed.
31
32       -h
33       --help Prints a usage message on stdout and exits.
34
35       -v
36       --version
37              Prints version information on stdout and exits.

BUGS

40       Some  errors  that  prevent  files  from being interpreted successfully
41       cause pspp-dump-sav to exit without reading any additional files  given
42       on the command line.
