INDEXDUMP(1)

💖 INDEXDUMP 💖

okay bestie, say hi to indexdump — she shows you the content of the index file. no cap. ✨

---

✨ FORMAT ✨

indexdump [options] file [ tag ]

where options are

• --debug — output record separator (default newline) 🫶
• --type — specifies the num/date/char type of the index
• --start — defines the value to start dump from
• --n — prints also the total number of records in the file

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

indexdump rooms.cdx FACILITY
indexdump --debug=14 --start=Dub rooms.cdx ROOMNAME

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Indexdump prints to standard output the content of the index file. the way that it's giving "I know exactly what's inside this index"... iconic.

the type of the index is one of those supported by the XBase::Index Perl module — so like, the options are cdx, idx, ntx, ndx, mdx. pick your fighter 💅

the output contains the index key and the value, and that value is literally the record number in the corresponding dbf file. fr fr.

for multitag index files (like cdx), you need to specify the tag name to get the actual data. no tag, no data, bestie — that's just how she is 🙈
