💅 i-viewdb — the manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is i-viewdb(1) from the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally just your little backstage pass into an integrit database. no gatekeeping here, let's go ✨

✨ NAME ✨

i-viewdb — peek at all the info that's chillin' inside integrit databases 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

i-viewdb [-s] dbname

dbname is the name of the integrit database that i-viewdb is gonna examine, so like, that one's not optional, queen. 👑

  • -s — do not show the checksums that are stored in the database. shy behavior, honestly, but we respect it. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the lore: the integrit system catches intrusions by detecting when your trusted files have been altered. the way it does that is by recording info about files into a database. and i-viewdb? it lets you, the user, actually see the information stored in those databases. main character energy for a viewer tool, fr fr. 💅

The output syntax is the same as that of integrit. no cap — same syntax, same vibe, consistency slay. 🌈

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

i-viewdb integrit-foo.cdb | less

uses the less pager to view the contents of the integrit database. pager rights!! 🫶

i-viewdb integrit-foo.cdb | awk '{ print $1 " " $8 }'

look at the files and access times in the integrit database. awk girlies stay winning 🔥
