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 stan-
     dard 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  charac-
	    ters  (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 char-
	    acters 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 output
     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.
