DPTSV(1)

💖 DPTSV(1) — Quick Database Manager 💖

okay bestie, listen up, we're doing a whole thing here — this is from the Quick Database Manager manual, section 1, and it's genuinely so useful once it clicks. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dptsv — your mutual converter between TSV and QDBM Depot database. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dptsv import [-bnum num] [-bin] name
dptsv export [-bin] name

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this manual page documents, briefly, the dptsv commands. short and sweet, no cap.

The command dptsv does mutual conversion between a database of Depot and a TSV text. literally a glow-up in both directions. ✨ This command is useful when you're doing data exchange with another version of QDBM or another DBM, or when you're doing data exchange between systems that have different byte orders. and it's used in the above format. name specifies a database name — that's your main character, name it well. 💜

The subcommand export reads TSV data from the standard input. If a key overlaps, the latter is adopted. (yes bestie, last one wins, that's the rule. 🙈) -bnum specifies the number of the elements of the bucket array. The subcommand import writes TSV data to the standard output.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#depotcli. go read the lore, iykyk. 📖

• -bnum num — specify the number of the elements of the bucket array. like, how many buckets are we working with, you decide. 🪣
• -bin — treat records as Base64 format. giving very much encoded and mysterious. 🔥

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

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

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

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

dpmgr get casket mikio

ate. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑
