π cdbdump(1) β bestie edition π
okay so welcome to the General Commands Manual, babe, we're doing cdbdump today and honestly? it's giving β¨minimalist iconβ¨. barely any options. zero drama. just vibes and databases. periodt.
πΈ NAME πΈ
cdbdump β dump the contents of a constant database π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
cdbdump
that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags. no args. she simply exists. no cap π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so here's the tea, bestie: cdbdump reads a constant database from its standard input π and then prints the database contents back out on standard output π
and the format it prints in? cdbmake(1) format. that's the one. that's the whole format. so it's literally the reverse-glow-up of cdbmake β feed her a database, she hands you back something cdbmake(1) would recognise π
it's a pipe queen. it does not take a filename. it does not ask questions. stdin in, stdout out, main character energy only π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
go read those too, they're the rest of the friend group π«Ά
ngl if you were hoping for options, flags, or β¨loreβ¨β¦ there are none. cdbdump is a one-trick pony and the trick is slaying π
mwah π that's the whole page β brought to you by the General Commands Manual, filed under cdbdump(1). no date on this one so don't come for me π stan a timeless queen β¨ππ
