DBMBUILD(8)

NAME
dbmbuild - database builder for PP

SYNOPSIS
dbmbuild [-nvdk] [database [table ...]]

DESCRIPTION
Dbmbuild reads the tables specified in the PP tailor file into a hashed database for use in quickly verifying addresses and efficiently assigning channels to submitted messages. If no database file is specified, the default dbm filename is used from the PP tailor file. If no table files are specified, all tables listed in the tailor file are used.

The options are:

n   Don't create a new database, attempt to add to an existing database.

v   Verbose mode. Print out each table as it is processed.

d   Debug mode. Report everything that happens (verbose).

k   Keep going. If a file is mentioned that doesn't exist, ignore it. It might be appropriate to make this the default at some sites.

Appropriate locks are placed on the database so that dbmbuild can safely be run while PP is in operation.

FILES
ppdbm.dir	database directory
ppdbm.pag	database pages
ppdbm.lck	database locking file
