MDB_DUMP(1)		    General Commands Manual		   MDB_DUMP(1)

NAME
       mdb_dump	- LMDB environment export tool

SYNOPSIS
       mdb_dump	[-V] [-f file] [-l] [-n] [-p] [-a | -s subdb]  envpath

DESCRIPTION
       The  mdb_dump  utility  reads a database	and writes its contents	to the
       standard	output using a portable	flat-text  format  understood  by  the
       mdb_load(1) utility.

OPTIONS
       -V     Write  the  library  version  number to the standard output, and
	      exit.

       -f file
	      Write to the specified file instead of to	the standard output.

       -l     List the databases stored	in the	environment.  Just  the	 names
	      will be listed, no data will be output.

       -n     Dump an LMDB database which does not use subdirectories.

       -p     If characters in either the key or data items are	printing char-
	      acters  (as  defined  by isprint(3)), output them	directly. This
	      option permits users to use standard text	editors	and  tools  to
	      modify the contents of databases.

	      Note:  different	systems	 may have different notions about what
	      characters are considered	 printing  characters,	and  databases
	      dumped in	this manner may	be less	portable to external systems.

       -a     Dump all of the subdatabases in the environment.

       -s subdb
	      Dump  a  specific	subdatabase. If	no database is specified, only
	      the main database	is dumped.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is zero if no errors	occur.	Errors result  in  a  non-zero
       exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.

       Dumping	databases that use user-defined	comparison functions will out-
       put records with	the ordering imposed by	those comparison functions. If
       mdb_load	is invoked without including  the  -a  option  when  reloading
       those  records, the new databases will likely be	damaged	beyond repair,
       permitting neither record storage nor retrieval.
