+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B mdb_load
+utility reads from the standard input and loads it into the
+LMDB environment
+.BR envpath .
+
+The input to
+.B mdb_load
+must be in the output format specified by the
+.BR mdb_dump (1)
+utility or as specified by the
+.B -T
+option below.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-V
+Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-f \ file
+Read from the specified file instead of from the standard input.
+.TP
+.BR \-n
+Load an LMDB database which does not use subdirectories.
+.TP
+.BR \-s \ subdb
+Load a specific subdatabase. 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.
