👑 RLMGR — bestie's guide to the QDBM Relic admin utility 💅

okay so real talk, this is rlmgr, and she's from Quick Database Manager (that's the man page family name, iykyk). Think of her as the little admin sidekick for Relic — the utility you call when you wanna poke at a database and see what's actually going on in there. She's giving debug-tool energy, and honestly? She ate. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

rlmgr — the administration utility for QDBM Relic. periodt. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rlmgr create name
rlmgr store [-kx] [-vx|-vf] [-insert] name key val
rlmgr delete [-kx] name key
rlmgr fetch [-kx] [-ox] [-n] name key
rlmgr list [-ox] name

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So this manual page is the quick lil rundown of the rlmgr commands — not the whole novel, just the highlights, okay bestie? 💕

rlmgr is a utility for debugging Relic and its applications. Her whole thing is editing and checking a database. The way she's built, you can absolutely use her for database applications with shell scripts — she plays nice with your scripts, no cap. You run this command in the format shown above, and here's who's who:

• name — specifies a database name. like, the whole database. the main character. 👑
• key — specifies the key of a record.
• val — specifies the value of a record.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Here's the summary of options, babes. For the complete description, go look at the file file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#reliccli. (yes, a file URL, she's fancy like that ✨)

• -kx — treat key as a binary expression of hexadecimal notation. hex girlies rise 🧚
• -vx — treat val as a binary expression of hexadecimal notation.
• -vf — read the value from a file specified with val. so val is a filename, got it 🍓
• -insert — specify the storing mode for DBM_INSERT. literally, that's the mode, that's the vibe, keep it exact.
• -ox — treat the output as a binary expression of hexadecimal notation.
• -n — do not output the tailing newline. no sneaky lil newline at the end, we're keeping it tight. 💀

also jsyk — the synopsis shows -vx|-vf as mutually exclusive options for store, so don't go picking both at once, bestie 🫶
