cdb(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to cdb(1) — the manual page for cdbmake-sv, and its whole thing is: create a constant database from a services file. lowkey iconic. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the synopsis is literally this:

cdbmake-sv f ftmp

that's the whole thing. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So cdbmake-sv is similar to cdbmake, but it takes input in /etc/services format — and for each line it produces both forward and backward records. yes, both. main character energy fr fr. 💅

For example, take this input line:

discard 9/tcp sink null

Then the mapping situation is:

• maps discard/tcp to 9
• maps sink/tcp to 9
• maps null/tcp to 9
• and maps @9/tcp to discard

There's also cdb64make-sv, which uses cdb64 format instead of cdb format. slay. 🦋
