MAKEDBZ(8)
NAME
  makedbz - rebuild dbz files

SYNOPSIS
  makedbz [ -f filename ] [ -i ] [ -o ] [ -s size ]

DESCRIPTION
  Makedbz rebuilds dbz(3) database.  The default name of the text file is
  <pathdb in inn.conf>/history; to specify a different name, use the ``-f''
  flag.

OPTIONS
  -f file
       If the ``-f'' flag is used, then the database files are named
       file.dir, file.index, and file.hash.  If the ``-f'' flag is not used,
       then a temporary link to the name history.n is made and the database
       files are written as history.n.index , history.n.hash and
       history.n.dir.

  -i   To ignore the old database use the ``-i'' flag.	Using the ``-o'' or
       ``-s'' flags implies the ``-i'' flag.

  -o   If the ``-o'' flag is used, then the link is not made and any existing
       history files are overwritten.  If the old database exists, makedbz
       will use it to determine the size of the new database.

  -s size
       The program will also ignore any old database if the ``-s'' flag is
       used to specify the approximate number of entries in the new database.
       Accurately specifying the size is an optimization that will create a
       more efficient database.	 Size is measured in key-value pairs (i.e.,
       lines).	(The size should be the estimated eventual size of the file,
       typically the size of the old file.) For more information, see the
       discussion of dbzfresh and dbzsize in dbz(3).
