# jedstate-to-gdbmrecent(1)

migrate from jedstate to gdbmrecent databases

## NAME

jedstate-to-gdbmrecent - migrate from jedstate to gdbmrecent databases

## SYNOPSIS

```
    jedstate-to-gdbmrecent [JEDSTATE-DB [GDBMRECENT-DB]]
```

## DESCRIPTION

**jedstate-to-gdbmrecent** is a tool to help users to mirate from a jedstate database into a gdbmrecent one.  It can be called with 0, 1 or 2 arguments.  When present, the first and second arguments are the file names of the jedstate database (defaults to *~/.jedstate.db*) and the gdbmrecent one (defaults to *~/.jed/recent\_db*).  If `` `GDBMRECENT-DB' `` does not exist, then it will be created.  Otherwise, the contents of `` `JEDSTATE-DB' `` will be added to it.

In order to use the gdbmrecent database, install the jed-extra Debian package and add the following to your *~/.jed/jed.rc* initialization file (or whichever name it has):

```
    require ("gdbmrecent");
```
