NAME

       cdbget - search for a record in a constant database

SYNOPSIS

       cdbget key [ skip ]

DESCRIPTION

       cdbget  searches for a record with key key in a constant database.  The
       constant database must be readable (and seekable) on cdbget’s  standard
       input.

       Normally  cdbget  prints  the data in the first record with key key and
       exits 0.  If there is no record with the  key  key,  cdbget  exits  100
       without printing anything.

       If  cdbget  encounters  a  read  error, write error, or database format
       error, it complains and exits 111.

       Given a numeric skip argument, cdbget skips past the first skip records
       with key key, and prints the data in the next record.
