💖 icestormdb — the IceStorm database import/export utility 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is icestormdb(1) from the General Commands Manual and she is that girl. it's a command-line tool for importing and exporting IceStorm databases, and honestly? iconic behaviour. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

icestormdb [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags only, bestie — no positional args up in here.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the icestormdb utility is a command-line tool for importing and exporting IceStorm databases. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly, periodt. 💅

the full documentation for icestormdb lives online, and you should absolutely go read it because it's giving main character reference material:

🫶 fr fr, bookmark that link. future you will be so grateful.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every flag, all of them, nothing skipped, because we don't do gatekeeping here:

  • -h, --help — show the program help. your lil "what does this do again" button. 🎀
  • -v, --version — display the Ice version. straight up, just tells you which Ice you're running.
  • -v, --version — display the Ice version. yes bestie, she's listed twice in the original manual. not a typo on my end, I promise. same option, same job, printed twice. we keep it exactly as she is. 🙈
  • --import FILE — import the database from the specified file. FILE is your source, your lil data treasure chest. 📥
  • --export FILE — export the database to the specified file. same energy, opposite direction. 📤
  • --dbpath DIR — the source or target database environment. this is where the database actually lives, so point her at DIR and she'll know what's up. 🌈
  • --mapsize VALUE — set the LMDB map size, in MB. quick note because details matter: this one is optional and it's import only. 😌
  • -d, --debug — print debug messages. turn this on when you want the tea, the lore, the play-by-play. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! slay, ate, left no crumbs, all the facts intact. 🍓💜

cute lil sign-off: this was icestormdb(1) from the General Commands Manual — the manpage itself doesn't hand us a version number or a date, so we're shouting out the source as printed and keeping it 100. mwah. 💖✨
