DB5.3_PRINTLOG(1) General Commands Manual DB5.3_PRINTLOG(1)
NAME
db5.3_printlog - Dumps Berkeley DB log files in a human-readable format
SYNOPSIS
db5.3_printlog [-NrV] [-b start-LSN] [-e stop-LSN] [-h home] [-P password]
DESCRIPTION
The db5.3_printlog utility is a debugging utility that dumps Berkeley DB log files in a
human-readable format.
OPTIONS
-b Display log records starting at log sequence number (LSN) start-LSN; start-LSN is
specified as a file number, followed by a slash (/) character, followed by an off-
set number, with no intervening whitespace.
-e Stop displaying log records at log sequence number (LSN) stop-LSN; stop-LSN is
specified as a file number, followed by a slash (/) character, followed by an off-
set number, with no intervening whitespace.
-h Specify a home directory for the database environment; by default, the current
working directory is used.
-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.
-r Read the log files in reverse order.
-V Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
The db5.3_printlog utility uses 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 using a Berke-
ley DB environment, db5.3_printlog should always be given the chance to detach from the
environment and exit gracefully. To cause db5.3_printlog to release all environment re-
sources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).
The db5.3_printlog 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.
