NAME

cdbtest -- run test routines on a constant database

SYNOPSIS

cdbtest <file

DESCRIPTION

cdbtest outputs information about a constant database. cdbtest assumes that standard input has the database open in readable and seekable form (This means pipes will not work).

cdbtest outputs some statistics related to the hash mechanism of the constant databases:

found

number of records found by their keys

different record

number of records where a wrong value was found by the key. This should happen only if there are identical keys.

bad length

number of records which had the wrong data length. This should always be zero.

not found

number of records not found by their key. This should never happen.

too long to test

number of records with keys bigger than 1024 bytes. These are skipped to keep the cdbtest program simple.

RETURN VALUES

0 on success, 1 on a syntax errors, 111 on transient errors.

RESTRICTIONS

Keys over 1024 bytes long are skipped.
