MDB_DUMP(1)             FreeBSD 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
       standard 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
              characters (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
              characters 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 and reloading databases that use user-defined comparison
       functions will result in new databases that use the default comparison
       functions.  In this case it is quite likely that the reloaded database
       will be damaged beyond repair permitting neither record storage nor
       retrieval.

       The only available workaround is to modify the source for the
       mdb_load(1) utility to load the database using the correct comparison
       functions.
