CRTSV(1)

💖 CRTSV 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the little converter that could 🦋 it lives in the Quick Database Manager fam and it's literally the mutual converter between TSV and a QDBM Curia database. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

crtsv — the mutual converter between TSV and QDBM Curia database. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

crtsv import [-bnum num] [-dnum num] [-bin] name
crtsv export [-bin] name

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this manual page documents briefly the crtsv commands. brief queen, but we still spill all the tea.

The command crtsv features mutual conversion between a database of Curia and a TSV text. that's the main character energy right there 👑

This command is useful when data exchange with another version of QDBM or another DBM, or when data exchange between systems which have different byte orders. (byte orders being messy? not on her watch 💀)

This command is used in the above format. name specifies a database name.

The subcommand export reads TSV data from the standard input. If a key overlaps, the latter is adopted — like, last one in wins, no arguing 🙈

-bnum specifies the number of the elements of the bucket array. -dnum specifies the number of division of the database.

The subcommand import writes TSV data to the standard output. (yes, import writes out and export reads in, we don't make the rules, we just vibe with them 😭)

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#curiacli.

• -bnum num — specify the number of the elements of the bucket array. ✨
• -dnum num — specify the number of division of the database. 🌈
• -bin — treat records as Base64 format. 🔥

---

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

For example, to make a database to search /etc/password by a user name, perform the following command.

cat /etc/passwd | tr ':' '' | crtsv import casket

Thus, to retrieve the information of a user mikio, perform the following command.

crmgr get casket mikio

quick reminder bestie: if a key overlaps, the latter is adopted. that's it, that's the rule 💖

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, you're an icon, go convert something 🧚

signing off from the Quick Database Manager era — this page is dated 2005-05-23, it's manual page CRTSV(1), and yes it's giving vintage but it still slays. mwah 💋
