EXPIRE-IP-DB(1) 	     General Commands Manual		 EXPIRE-IP-DB(1)

NAME
     expire-ip-db - remove old entries from a dns-terror DB file

SYNOPSIS
     expire-ip-db [-v] [-d days] [-m mark-size] [ip2host.db]

DESCRIPTION
     expire-ip-db  removes  entries  older than a given time from a DB file pro-
     duced by dns-terror.  This keeps the DB file from growing	without  bounds.
     If  this  were  not  done,  then eventually the overhead of storing months'
     worth of IP address to hostname mappings  could  become  greater  than  the
     speed  benefit from having them available, and the memory image of dns-ter-
     ror could become unworkably large.

OPTIONS
     -d daysRemove entries older than days.  Default is 35 days, which	is  long
	    enough for daily entries to last to the next monthly report.

     -m marksize
	    Print a notice every marksize entries.

     -v     Verbose: print progress messages.

FILES
     ip2host.db
	    Default DB file to process.

SEE ALSO
     convert-ip-db(1), dns-terror(1)
