XB_CLEARIX(1)

📦 version 4.2.6, in fedora 44

💖 XB_CLEARIX 💖

okay so bestie, this is the xb_clearix page from the General Commands Manual — and yes, it's giving "emergency room but make it DBF files" 🩹✨

✨ NAME ✨

xb_clearix — a recovery program to clear or set the production index bit in a dbf file. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xb_clearix -t table.DBF -o OFF|ON

xb_clearix -h

xb_clearix -v

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like… xb_clearix clears or sets the production index flag in a DBF table. 🎀

Possibly usefull in a recovery situation. 🚑 (yes, that's the literal spelling, we keep it fr fr, no cap)

bestie this is a recovery tool, not a "let me vibe and poke at my production data for fun" tool. Handle with care. 🫶

🌈 OVERVIEW 🌈

The Xbase64 library provides various utility programs and a set of C++ classes for application programming for reading, writing and updating DBF database files, NDX and MDX index files and DBT memo files. 👑

Version 4.x.x has been tested for compatability with with dBASE III (TM), dBASE IV (TM) and dBASE 5 (TM) version data files and indices *.DBF (data), *.NDX (single tag index), *.MDX (multi tag index) and *.DBT (memo). ⭐

In RDBMS parlance, each *.DBF file would be a table. 🗂️ (ikr, the crossover episode nobody asked for but we all needed)

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, -?, --help — display help information. 🆘 the "what do I do" button
  • -v, --version — display version information. 🏷️
  • -t myfile.DBF — DBF file to modify production index flag. 🎯 point it at the table you wanna fix
  • -o ON|OFF — Option to set or clear production index flag. 🔀 set it or clear it, pick one

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • *.DBF
