If no keys and no .Ar infile is specified, the entire database is displayed. This is the default mode of operation. .It delete Enabled with .Fl d . Deletes the given .Ar key Ns s , and keys described in .Ar infile . .It write Enabled with .Fl w . Writes the given .Ar key Ns s and .Ar value Ns s , and keys and values described in .Ar infile (in the latter case, entries are separated by .Ar sep ) . .El .Pp There are two mandatory arguments: .Ar type is the database type; either .Sq Sy btree or .Sq Sy hash , and .Ar database is the database file to manipulate. .Pp Options valid for all modes are: .Bl -tag -width Fl -offset indent . .It Fl E Ar endian Set the endianness of the database. .Ar endian may be one of: .Bl -tag -width 1n -offset indent -compact .It Sy B Big endian .It Sy H Host endian .It Sy L Little endian .El Defaults to .Sq H (host endian). . .It Fl f Ar infile Contains a list of keys (for read and delete), or .Ar sep separated keys and values (for write) to be used as arguments to the given mode. If .Ar infile is .Sq Sy - , .Dv stdin is used. . .It Fl i Keys are converted to lower case before manipulation. . .It Fl N Do not include the NUL byte at the end of the key or value. . .It Fl q Quiet operation. In read mode, missing keys are not considered to be an error. In delete .Pq Fl d and write .Pq Fl w modes, the result of various operations is suppressed. . .El . .Pp Read mode specific options are: . .Bl -tag -width Fl -offset indent .It Fl K Display key. . .It Fl O Ar str Field separator string between key and value. Defaults to a single tab .Pq Sq \et . . .It Fl S Ar chr Specify items to .Xr strvis 3 encode. The .Ar chr option-argument is a character specifying if the key .Pq Ar k , the value .Pq Ar v or both .Pq Ar b should be encoded. . .It Fl T Ar str Control how the items specified by the .Fl S option are encoded. The .Ar str option-argument is a string specifying .Xr strvis 3 options. The string consists of the specification characters .Cm b , c , o , .Cm s , t , and .Cm w . See .Xr vis 1 's corresponding options for the meaning of these characters. . .It Fl V Display value. . .It Fl X Ar str When encoding items with .Fl S option also encode characters in .Ar str , per .Xr svis 3 . . .El .Pp .Bd -ragged -offset indent (If neither of .Fl K or .Fl V is given, both options are enabled.) .Ed . .Pp Write mode specific options are: .Bl -tag -width Fl -offset indent . .It Fl C Create new database, and truncate existing databases. . .It Fl D Allow duplicate entries. (Requires .Fl R to be useful.) . .It Fl F Ar sep Field separator between key and value used when parsing .Ar infile . Defaults to a single space .Pq Sq \ . . .It Fl m Ar mode Octal mode of created database. Defaults to .Sq 0644 . . .It Fl R Overwrite existing entries. If not specified, writing to an existing entry raises an error. . .El .Pp Write and delete mode specific options are: .Bl -tag -width Fl -offset indent . .It Fl U Ar chr Specify items to .Xr strunvis 3 decode. The .Ar chr option-argument is a character specifying if the key .Pq Ar k , the value .Pq Ar v or both .Pq Ar b should be decoded. . .El . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr vis 1 , .Xr btree 3 , .Xr db 3 , .Xr hash 3 , .Xr strunvis 3 , .Xr strvis 3 , .Xr svis 3 , .Xr makemap 8 . .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command appeared in .Nx 2.0 . . .Sh AUTHORS .An Luke Mewburn .Aq lukem@NetBSD.org .
