MAKEDBZ(8)MAKEDBZ(8)NAMEmakedbz - rebuild dbz files
SYNOPSISmakedbz [ -f filename ] [ -i ] [ -o ] [ -s size ]
DESCRIPTION
Makedbz rebuilds dbz(3) database. The default name of the text file is
<pathdb in inn.conf>/history; to specify a different name, use the
``-f'' flag.
OPTIONS-f file
If the ``-f'' flag is used, then the database files are named
file.dir, file.index, and file.hash. If the ``-f'' flag is not
used, then a temporary link to the name history.n is made and
the database files are written as history.n.index , his‐
tory.n.hash and history.n.dir.
-i To ignore the old database use the ``-i'' flag. Using the
``-o'' or ``-s'' flags implies the ``-i'' flag.
-o If the ``-o'' flag is used, then the link is not made and any
existing history files are overwritten. If the old database
exists, makedbz will use it to determine the size of the new
database.
-s size
The program will also ignore any old database if the ``-s'' flag
is used to specify the approximate number of entries in the new
database. Accurately specifying the size is an optimization
that will create a more efficient database. Size is measured in
key-value pairs (i.e., lines). (The size should be the esti‐
mated eventual size of the file, typically the size of the old
file.) For more information, see the discussion of dbzfresh and
dbzsize in dbz(3).
