If no database is specified, data is loaded into the main database. +.TP +.BR \-N +Don't overwrite existing records when loading into an already existing database; just skip them. +.TP +.BR \-T +Load data from simple text files. The input must be paired lines of text, where the first +line of the pair is the key item, and the second line of the pair is its corresponding +data item. + +A simple escape mechanism, where newline and backslash (\\) characters are special, is +applied to the text input. Newline characters are interpreted as record separators. +Backslash characters in the text will be interpreted in one of two ways: If the backslash +character precedes another backslash character, the pair will be interpreted as a literal +backslash. If the backslash character precedes any other character, the two characters +following the backslash will be interpreted as a hexadecimal specification of a single +character; for example, \\0a is a newline character in the ASCII character set. + +For this reason, any backslash or newline characters that naturally occur in the text +input must be escaped to avoid misinterpretation by +.BR mdb_load . + +.SH 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. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR mdb_dump (1) +.SH AUTHOR +Howard Chu of Symas Corporation <http://www.symas.com> |
