MTBL_DUMP(1)							  MTBL_DUMP(1)

NAME
       mtbl_dump - print key-value entries from	an MTBL	file

SYNOPSIS
       mtbl_dump [-s] [-x] [-k ABCD] [-v ABCD] [-K #] [-V #] FILE

DESCRIPTION
       mtbl_dump(1) prints all key-value entries from an MTBL file to stdout,
       in file order.

       By default, each	entry is printed on its	own line, with double quotes
       surrounding the key and the value, with a single	space character
       separating the two. Unprintable characters and embedded double quote
       characters are escaped using the	Python string literal syntax.

       With the	-x option, each	entry is printed on its	own line, formatted as
       an 8 digit hex length, colon, the hex digit pairs separated by a	dash,
       for each	of the key and value. Examples:

	   0000006:00-02-61-63-08-64 00000003:f2-e9-e4
	   00000004:03-01-2d-00	00000000:

       The -k and -v options take as arguments a prefix	as a hex-string	with
       no embedded punctuation.	For example, -k	"00ab" is legal, -v "00-ab" is
       illegal.	With the -k option, only entries whose key matches the prefix
       will be printed.	With the -v option, only entries whose value matches
       the prefix will be printed.

       The -K AND -V options take as arguments a positive integer which
       specifies the minimum length of the key or value, respectfully.

       -k, -v, -K, and -V can all be specified,	and only entries that match
       all will	be printed.

OPTIONS
       -s
	   Silent mode (don't output anything).	Useful for benchmarking.

       -x
	   Use hex mode	output,	described above.

       -k
	   Match on a key prefix, described above.

       -v
	   Match on a value prefix, described above.

       -K
	   Match on a key prefix by minimal length, described above.

       -V
	   Match on a value prefix by minimal length, described	above.
