DB5.3_VERIFY(1) General Commands Manual DB5.3_VERIFY(1)
NAME
db5.3_verify - Verifies the structure databases
SYNOPSIS
db5.3_verify [-NoqV] [-h home] [-P password] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The db5.3_verify utility verifies the structure of one or more files and the databases
they contain.
OPTIONS
-h Specify a home directory for the database environment; by default, the current
working directory is used.
-o Skip the database checks for btree and duplicate sort order and for hashing.
If the file being verified contains databases with non-default comparison or hash-
ing configurations, calling the db5.3_verify utility without the -o flag will usu-
ally return failure. The -o flag causes db5.3_verify to ignore database sort or
hash ordering and allows db5.3_verify to be used on these files. To fully verify
these files, verify them explicitly using the DB->verify method, after configuring
the correct comparison or hashing functions.
-N Do not acquire shared region mutexes while running. Other problems, such as poten-
tially fatal errors in Berkeley DB, will be ignored as well. This option is in-
tended only for debugging errors, and should not be used under any other circum-
stances.
-P Specify an environment password. Although Berkeley DB utilities overwrite password
strings as soon as possible, be aware there may be a window of vulnerability on
systems where unprivileged users can see command-line arguments or where utilities
are not able to overwrite the memory containing the command-line arguments.
-q Suppress the printing of any error descriptions, simply exit success or failure.
-V Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
The db5.3_verify utility does not perform any locking, even in Berkeley DB environments
that are configured with a locking subsystem. As such, it should only be used on files
that are not being modified by another thread of control.
The db5.3_verify utility may be used with a Berkeley DB environment (as described for the
-h option, the environment variable DB_HOME, or because the utility was run in a directory
containing a Berkeley DB environment). In order to avoid environment corruption when us-
ing a Berkeley DB environment, db5.3_verify should always be given the chance to detach
from the environment and exit gracefully. To cause db5.3_verify to release all environ-
ment resources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).
The db5.3_verify utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
ENVIRONMENT
DB_HOME
If the -h option is not specified and the environment variable DB_HOME is set, it
is used as the path of the database home, as described in DB_ENV->open.
