NAME
pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
SYNOPSIS
"pdbdump"
[options] filename
DESCRIPTION
"pdbdump" reads a
PalmOS .pdb file, parses it, and prints its contents. This
includes both a hex dump of the raw data of each piece, and a
human-readable list of the various values, insofar as possible. The
aim of "pdbdump" is to allow one to verify whether a
particular file is a well-formed PalmOS database file and if not,
where the error lies.
If the database is of a known type, "pdbdump" parses
the AppInfo block and records. Otherwise, it simply prints out a
hex dump of their contents. "pdbdump" includes, by
default, support for most of the built-in applications. Other
helper modules may be loaded with the "-M" option.
OPTIONS
- -h -help --help
- Print a usage message and exit.
- -nohex
- Don't print the hex dump of the various
parts.
- -Mmodule
- "use" the named module. This can
be useful for loading additional helper modules.
BUGS
"pdbdump" only
recognizes record databases (".pdb" files), not resource
databases (".prc" files).
