✨ NAME ✨

vltsv — mutual converter between TSV and Villa database. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

vltsv import [-bin] name
vltsv export [-bin] name

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents briefly the vltsv commands — like, the short version, but make it cute. 🫶

the command vltsv features mutual conversion between a database of Villa and a TSV text. literally going both ways, iconic. this command is useful when data exchange with another version of QDBM or another DBM, or when data exchange between systems which have different byte orders. (yes, byte orders, like endianness drama, we love a cross-system moment 💀). this command is used in the above format. name specifies a database name.

now the tea ☕:

• the subcommand export reads TSV data from the standard input.
• the subcommand import writes TSV data to the standard output.

ngl, that's exactly what the page says, so write it down exactly like that, bestie. no editing the lore. 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

a summary of options is included below. for a complete description, see the file file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#villacli. go read it, iykyk. 👑

• -bin — treat records as Base64 format.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

for example, to make a database to search /etc/password by a user name, perform the following command. 💖

cat /etc/passwd | tr ':' '' | vltsv import casket

thus, to retrieve the information of a user mikio, perform the following command. ✨

vlmgr get casket mikio

look at that. casket. mikio. we love a named example. slay. 🎀
