DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the dptsv commands.

       The  command  dptsv  features  mutual  conversion between a database of
       Depot and a TSV text. This command is useful when  data  exchange  with
       another  version  of QDBM or another DBM, or when data exchange between
       systems which have different byte orders. This command is used  in  the
       above format. name specifies a database name.

       The subcommand export reads TSV data from the standard input.  If a key
       overlaps, the latter is adopted. -bnum  specifies  the  number  of  the
       elements  of the bucket array. The subcommand import writes TSV data to
       the standard output.
