NAME
       gdbm_load - re-create a GDBM database from a dump file.

SYNOPSIS
       gdbm_load  [-MUnr] [-b NUM] [-c NUM] [-m	MODE] [-u NAME|UID[:NAME|GID]]
       [--block-size=NUM]   [--cache-size=NUM]	 [--mmap=NUM]	 [--mode=MODE]
       [--no-meta]  [--replace]	 [--update]  [--user=NAME|UID[:NAME|GID]] FILE
       [DB_FILE]

       gdbm_load [-Vh] [--help]	[--usage] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
       Create a	gdbm database file DB_FILE from	the dump file  FILE.   If  the
       FILE argument is	not supplied, output the created database to the stan-
       dard error.

       If  the	input  file is in ASCII	dump format, the mode and ownership of
       the created database are	restored from the  information	in  the	 dump.
       This can	be overridden using the	command	line options (see below).

OPTIONS
       -b, --block-size=NUM
	      Sets block size.

       -c, --cache-size=NUM
	      Sets cache size.

       -M, --mmap
	      Use memory mapping.

       -m, --mode=MODE
	      Set database file	mode (octal number).

       -n, --no-meta
	      Do  not  attempt	to restore database meta-data (mode and	owner-
	      ship).

       -r, --replace
	      Replace existing keys.  This must	be used	together with  the  -U
	      (--update) option.

       -U, --update
	      Update an	existing database.  Key/value pairs from the dump file
	      will  be	added  to that database, without removing the existing
	      keys.  To	overwrite keys that are	duplicated in the  dump	 file,
	      use the --replace	option.

	      If the database does not exist, it will be created.

       -u, --user=NAME|UID[:NAME|GID]
	      Set file ownership.

       -h, --help
	      Print a short usage summary.

       --usage
	      Print a list of available	options.

       -V, --version
	      Print program version
