NAME
dbwrap_tool - low level TDB/CTDB manipulation tool using the dbwrap
interface
SYNOPSIS
dbwrap_tool [--persistent] [--non-persistent] [-d <debug level>]
[-s <config file>] [-l <log file base>] [-V] [--option=<name>=<value>]
{<database>} {<operation>} [<key> [<type> [<value>]]]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
The dbwrap_tool program is used to read and manipulate TDB/CTDB
databases using the dbwrap interface.
The following database operations are available:
o fetch: fetch a record
o store: create or modify a record
o delete: remove a record
o exists: test for existence of a record
o erase: remove all records
o listkeys: list all available records
o listwatchers: list processes, which are waiting for changes
in a record
The following types are available:
o int32: signed 32bit integer
o uint32: unsigned 32bit integer
o string: "hello world"
o hex: hex strings like "68656C6C6F20776F726C6400" ("hello
world")
OPTIONS
--persistent
Open the database as a persistent database.
Exactly one of --persistent and --non-persistent must be specified.
--non-persistent
Open the database as a non-persistent database.
Caveat: opening a database as non-persistent when there is
currently no other opener will wipe the database.
files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
information about operations carried out.
Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
level parameter in the smb.conf file.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
-s|--configfile=<configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration details required by
the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
is determined at compile time.
-l|--log-basename=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
file is never removed by the client.
--option=<name>=<value>
Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
from the configuration file.
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
--usage
Display brief usage message.
