AGDBINFO(1)

🦋 agdbinfo — bestie's guide to the SuperFetch database inspector

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for agdbinfo from the libagdb package — it's genuinely one of those tiny utilities that does exactly one thing and does it well, and I'm obsessed 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

agdbinfo — literally just tells you stuff about a Windows SuperFetch database file. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

agdbinfo [-ahvV] source

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so agdbinfo is this utility whose entire personality is determining information about a Windows SuperFetch database file. she's a specialist, she's focused, she doesn't do anything else 💜

also important: agdbinfo is part of the libagdb package. and libagdb? that's a library to access the Windows SuperFetch database file format. so like, this little tool is the friendly face on top of a whole library iykyk ✨

source is the source file. yeah. the file you're pointing her at. the main character of the operation 🫶

the options are as follows:

• -a — shows allocation information 👀 like where things are actually living in the file
• -h — shows this help
• -v — verbose output to stderr
• -V — print version

---

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

None

🍓 FILES 🍓

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

okay so this is the moment, the vibe check, the whole point:

# agdbinfo WERC843.tmp.agdb
agdbinfo 20140402

Windows SuperFetch database file information:
        ...

she prints her own version line, then the header for the database file information, then the goods. slay 🔥

---

⭐ DIAGNOSTICS ⭐

so here's the thing — errors, verbose and debug output are all printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. BUT (and this is the part people miss 😭) verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you turned on -v and you're not seeing the verbose stuff, that's not a bug, that's a compile-time thing. periodt 💀
