💖 MDB2REC(1) — the manual, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, because we're about to talk about mdb2rec — yes it's the mdb to rec converter and yes it lives in section 1 of the User Commands manual, iykyk.

✨ NAME ✨

mdb2rec — mdb to rec converter 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mdb2rec [OPTIONS]... MDB_FILE [TABLE]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, the whole entire point, the main character energy of this program, is: convert an mdb file into a rec file. mdb in, rec out, no notes. 👑

the options, bestie 🎀

  • -s, --system-tables — include system tables. yes queen, all of them, even the system ones. 💜
  • -e, --keep-empty-fields — don't prune empty fields in the rec output. like, leave the empty fields alone, they're going through something. 🥺
  • -l, --list-tables — dump a list of the table names contained in the mdb file. just the names. a little roll call. a little attendance sheet. ✨
  • --help — print a help message and exit. it's giving "I don't know her but she knows me". 🌸
  • --version — show version and exit. iconic, brief, done. ⭐
