-This file describes the usage of the Dump-Restore utility for the ACE
-Name Server.
-
-Similar to the test application provided in the Client-Server
-directory, a simple ASCII menu-driven interface is provided to the
-user:
-
- Name Service Main Menu
- ----------------------
- *** Using Process Local Database ***
-
-** No Input File Specified **
-<P> Use Process Local Database
-<N> Use Node Local Database
-<H> Set Remote Name server <host> and <port>
-<F> Set Input File <file name>
-
-<B> Bind
-<U> Unbind
-<R> Rebind
-<D> Dump <file name>
-<Q> or ^C (exit)
-
-Initially, the user can select the type of database from the menu:
-
-<P> uses the process local database (i.e., the
- database is called the same name as the process
- and stored in /tmp).
-<N> uses the node local database (which defaults
- to /tmp/localnames).
-<H> uses the net local database by specifying host and port
- number (by default this is stored in a file called
- /tmp/globalnames on the server).
-<F> Sets the name of the input file that will be used by the
- test application to populate the database. The format of
- the file should be:
-
- name=<name1>
- value=<value1>
- type=[<type1>]
- name=<name2>
- value=<value2>
- type=[<type2>]
- .
- .
- .
-
- Note that the type field is optional. However, if no type
- information is associated with a name binding, a null entry still
- needs to be present (i.e., type=).
-
-Once the input file has been specified, the user can then do one of
-the following:
-
-<B> Bind -- bind all the bindings in the file to the database.
- This can be used to "restore" the state of the
- Name Server.
-<U> Unbind -- unbind all the bindings in the file from the database.
-<R> Rebind -- rebind all the bindings in the file to the database.
-<D> Dump <file name> -- dump the state of the database to <filename>.
-<Q> or ^C (exit) -- exit gracefully, saving the contents of the
- Name Server in persistent shared memory.
-
-Note that the dump file is stored in ASCII with exactly the same
-format as the input file. Also, one can easily change the test
-application so that a call to Dump results in the state of the
-database dumped to standard output instead of a file.
