While this header information can be manually -edited before the database is reloaded, there is rarely any reason to do -so, as all of this information can also be specified or overridden by -command-line arguments to <a href="../../utility/db_load.html">db_load</a>. -<p>The header information ends with single line HEADER=END. -<p>Following the header information are the key/data pairs from the database. -If the database being dumped is of type Btree or Hash, or if the -<b>-k</b> option as been specified, the output will be paired lines of -text, where the first line of the pair is the key item, and the second -line of the pair is its corresponding data item. If the database being -dumped is of type Queue or Recno and the <b>-k</b> has not been -specified, the output will be lines of text, where each line is the next -data item for the database.

Backslash characters appearing in the output mean -one of two things: if the backslash character precedes another backslash -character, it means that a literal backslash character occurred in the -key or data item. If the backslash character precedes any other -character, the next two characters must be interpreted as hexadecimal -specification of a single character, e.g., <b>\0a</b> is -a newline character in the ASCII character set. -<p>Although some care should be exercised, it is perfectly reasonable to use -standard text editors and tools to edit databases dumped using the -<b>-p</b> option before re-loading them using the <a href="../../utility/db_load.html">db_load</a> -utility. -<p>Note that the definition of a printing character may vary from system to -system, and so database representations created using the <b>-p</b> -option may be less portable than those created without it. -<p>If the <b>-p</b> option to <a href="../../utility/db_dump.html">db_dump</a> or <a href="../../utility/db_dump.html">db_dump185</a> is -not specified, each output line will consist of paired hexadecimal values, -e.g., the line <b>726f6f74</b> is the string <b>root</b> in the ASCII -character set. -<p>In all output formats, the key and data items are ended by a single line -DATA=END. -<p>Where multiple databases have been dumped from a file, the overall output -will repeat, i.e., a new set of headers and a new set of data items. -<table><tr><td><br></td><td width="1%"><a href="../../ref/dumpload/utility.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../../ref/toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../../ref/dumpload/text.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> -</td></tr></table> -<p><font size=1><a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Copyright Sleepycat Software</a></font> -</body> -</html> |
