cdbsplit(6)


NAME

   cdbsplit - program to operate cookie (fortune) database

SYNOPSIS

   cdbsplit [options] <cookie-database> <hitfile>

DESCRIPTION

   This manual page documents briefly the cdbsplit command.

   This  manual  page  was  written  for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
   because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead,  it
   has some plain text documentation, see below.

   cdbsplit  is  a  program that can be used to operate cookie database in
   various formats, the default is standard fortune(6) format, i.e.   list
   of 'cookies' delimited with line containing a single percent ('%') char
   . With 'cdbsplit' you can split cookie database, or extract parts of it
   depending on various criteria.

OPTIONS

   A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see
   the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory.   NOTE,  that
   default  behaviour  is  to overwrite existing database with its reduced
   version, so the cookies are MOVED to  hitfile.  The  hitfile  is  never
   overwritten, but may be appended to.

   [nothing]
          Shows summary of options.

   -c     case-sensitive comparisons (for both keywords and groups)

   -d[0-3]
          how fussy about word delimiters? (default: 2)

   -k<keyword>
          optional keyword

   -K<keyword>
          mandatory keyword (use both of them to form boolean expressions)

   -l<min_lines>
          minimal cookie length (in lines)

   -L<max_lines>
          maximal cookie length (in lines)

   -w<chars>
          minimal line width (in chars)

   -W<chars>
          maximal line width (in chars)

   -n<min_number>
          start at cookie <min_number>

   -N<max_number>
          stop after <max_number> cookie

   -m<chars>
          find  groups  of  cookies  starting with <n> matching characters
          (database must be sorted for this to make sense!)

   -x     extract only, don't modify <cookie-database>

   -a     append, don't overwrite <hitfile> if such a filename exists

   -f[0-3]
          input file format - -f3: cookies are separated  by  '%%'  lines;
          -f2:  cookies  are  separated  by '%' lines (DEFAULT); -f1: each
          line is a cookie; -f0: each word is a cookie.
