💖 dbtool(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from The Computational Morphometry Toolkit (CMTK, we love her) and it's literally all about dbtool, bestie. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dbtool — the Image/transformation database maintenance and query tool 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dbtool Command

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she DO, you ask? She modifies and queries the database of images and transformations between them. That's it, that's the whole vibe. database maintenance, database querying, main character energy 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💜 Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)

these ones are the community girls, every CMTK tool has them, no cap:

  • --help — writes the list of basic command line options to standard output. your lil starter pack ✨
  • --help-all — writes the complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output. the deluxe version, the full lore 📖
  • --wiki — writes the list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup. wiki girlies rise 🙈
  • --man — writes man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output. yes she writes her own manpage, iconic
  • --version — writes toolkit version to standard output. what's her age? 💅
  • --echo — writes the current command line to standard output. she repeats you back, respectfully 🪞
  • --verbose-level <integer> — sets the verbosity level. how much she's gonna yap, basically
  • --verbose, -v — increments verbosity level by 1. ⚠️ deprecated, but still supported for backward compatibility, so she's still here, holding on 😭
  • --threads <integer> — sets the maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP). multitasking queen 🧚

🔥 Main Options
