- The script file consists of lines with a initial character which is
- the "command" for that line. Legal characters are as follows:
-
- c: compare a record
- + must be followed by [kK][dD]; the data value in the database
- associated with the specified key is compared to the specified
- data value.
- e: echo a string
- + writes out the rest of the line into the output file; if the
- last character is not a carriage-return, a newline is appended.
- g: do a get command
- + must be followed by [kK]
- + writes out the retrieved data DBT.
- p: do a put command
- + must be followed by [kK][dD]
- r: do a del command
- + must be followed by [kK]
- s: do a seq command
- + writes out the retrieved data DBT.
- f: set the flags for the next command
- + no value zero's the flags
- D [file]: data file
- + set the current data value to the contents of the file
- d [data]:
- + set the current key value to the contents of the line.
- K [file]: key file
- + set the current key value to the contents of the file
- k [data]:
- + set the current key value to the contents of the line.
- o [r]: dump [reverse]
- + dump the database out, if 'r' is set, in reverse order.
-
- Options to dbtest are as follows:
-
- -f: Use the file argument as the database file.
- -i: Use the rest of the argument to set elements in the info
- structure. If the type is btree, then "-i cachesize=10240"
- will set BTREEINFO.cachesize to 10240.
- -o: The rest of the argument is the output file instead of
- using stdout.
-
- Dbtest requires two arguments, the type of access "hash", "recno" or
- "btree", and the script name.
