# @(#)README 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/4/93 The script file consists of lines with a initial character which is the "command" for that line. Legal characters are as follows: c: compare a record + must be followed by [kK][dD]; the data value in the database associated with the specified key is compared to the specified data value. e: echo a string + writes out the rest of the line into the output file; if the last character is not a carriage-return, a newline is appended. g: do a get command + must be followed by [kK] + writes out the retrieved data DBT. p: do a put command + must be followed by [kK][dD] r: do a del command + must be followed by [kK] s: do a seq command + writes out the retrieved data DBT. f: set the flags for the next command + no value zero's the flags D [file]: data file + set the current data value to the contents of the file d [data]: + set the current key value to the contents of the line. K [file]: key file + set the current key value to the contents of the file k [data]: + set the current key value to the contents of the line. o [r]: dump [reverse] + dump the database out, if 'r' is set, in reverse order. Options to dbtest are as follows: -f: Use the file argument as the database file. -i: Use the rest of the argument to set elements in the info structure. If the type is btree, then "-i cachesize=10240" will set BTREEINFO.cachesize to 10240. -o: The rest of the argument is the output file instead of using stdout. Dbtest requires two arguments, the type of access "hash", "recno" or "btree", and the script name.
