TTDBSERVER(1m)

💅 ttdbserver — the girlboss RPC ToolTalk database server

okay so real talk, this is the ttdbserver page from the user cmd manual section, and bestie, she's a whole server daemon, so let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ttdbserver — the RPC-based ToolTalk database server. she's the queen bee of the ToolTalk database, no cap 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rpc.ttdbserver [-G] [-m DTMOUNTPOINT_value] [-n] [-v] [-?]

that's the whole vibe check right there. five flags, zero drama ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so rpc.ttdbserver is the ToolTalk database server daemon. like, literally the main character 💅

this process — which is normally started by inetd — performs all database operations for databases stored on the host. all of them. every single one. she does the work so you don't have to 😭

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -G — perform garbage collection 🗑️✨ this cleans up the TT_DB directories and the associated internal database files. it's giving spring cleaning, it's giving glow-up.
• -m DTMOUNTPOINT_value — sets the DTMOUNTPOINT environment variable for rpc.ttdbserver. and bestie listen — if there's already an environment variable called DTMOUNTPOINT chilling there, -m will override it. she said out with the old 💅
• -n — turns off permission checking. okay so normally, the protection of the file containing the spec determines who may read and write that spec. this option disables that checking and lets anyone read and write any spec 🙈

fr fr use this one with caution. like, "caution" caution. she's a little unhinged and that's exactly the point 💀

• -v — prints out the version number ⭐ gotta know which girl you're dealing with.
• -? — prints out the command usage information. for when you're like "wait, how does this work again" 💀

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• DTMOUNTPOINT — if this is set, the value of this environment variable will be used in place of "/net" in pathnames constructed for the automounters host map 🗺️✨ and yes, you can also set this environment variable by using the -m flag for rpc.ttdbserver. two ways, same slay.

---

🍓 FILES 🍓

• TT_DB/* — the NetISAM database files are kept in the TT_DB directory under each disk partition mount point. that's her bedroom, that's where she keeps everything 💖

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 — this was ttdbserver from the user cmd manual, and the footer just says ttdbserver(user cmd) again, so like… she's consistent, she's self-referential, she's that girl. periodt. 🌸💜
