# @(#)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.
