cdb(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the cdb(1) page, and the actual main character is cdbtest — literally “check a constant database.” 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cdbtest

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

cdbtest reads a (seekable) constant database from its standard input. Like, standard input, bestie — that’s the vibe. 🌸

For each record in the database, it double-checks that the record can be found by its key. Then it prints tallies in several categories:

• found — the number of records found correctly by their keys. Slay. ✨
• different record — the number of records where a different record was found with the same key. This should not happen unless the database has multiple records with the same key. So yeah, duplicate-key situation, iykyk. 👀
• bad length — the number of records found but with the wrong data length. This should never happen. Periodt. 💀
• not found — the number of records not found. This should never happen either. Not even once. 😭
• untested — the number of records with keys longer than 1024 bytes. cdbtest doesn’t bother testing these records. It’s giving “not my problem” energy, honestly. 🙈

There is also a cdb64test that uses cdb64 format instead of cdb format. Cute twin behavior. 🫶

that’s the whole page, bestie — the footer/source line is literally just cdb(1) again, with no extra version or date drama, so this is the full iconic minimal situation. mwah 💋🎀
