mdb-header(1)	      Executable programs or shell commands	   mdb-header(1)

NAME
     mdb-header - Write header file from an MDB database

SYNOPSIS
     mdb-header [database]

DESCRIPTION
     mdb-header is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.

     It  will dump the names and types of the tables and columns in an MDB data-
     base in a C header format.

     It will create three files - types.h and dumptypes.[ch]

ENVIRONMENT
     MDB_JET3_CHARSET
	    Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file.  Default  is
	    CP1252. See iconv(1).

     MDBICONV
	    Defines  the  output  charset.  Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have
	    been compiled with iconv.

     MDBOPTS
	    Colon-separated list of options:

	    *  debug_like

	    *  debug_write

	    *  debug_usage

	    *  debug_ole

	    *  debug_row

	    *  debug_props

	    *  debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options

	    *  no_memo (deprecated; has no effect)

	    *  use_index (experimental; requires libmswstr)

EXIT STATUS
     mdb-header exits with error code 1 if there was anunsupported type.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
     mdb-header is deprecated. Soon, it will no longer be distributed.

     It is the feeling of developers that it is not used, as C	code  generation
     is  now usually replaced by more generic approaches, including libmdb calls
     and odbc.

     However,  should  you  find  this	tool  useful,  drop   us   a   line   at
     https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/issues/197  and  we'll  consider main-
     taining it.
