4 makedbz \- rebuild dbz files
25 The default name of the text file is
26 .IR <pathdb\ in\ inn.conf>/history ;
27 to specify a different name, use the ``\fB\-f\fP'' flag.
31 If the ``\fB\-f\fP'' flag is used, then the database files are named
36 If the ``\fB\-f\fP'' flag is not used, then a temporary link to the name
38 is made and the database files are written as
46 To ignore the old database use the ``\fB\-i\fP'' flag.
47 Using the ``\fB\-o\fP'' or ``\fB\-s\fP'' flags implies the ``\fB\-i\fP'' flag.
50 If the ``\fB\-o\fP'' flag is used, then the link is not made and any existing
51 history files are overwritten.
52 If the old database exists,
54 will use it to determine the size of the new database.
57 The program will also ignore any old database if the ``\fB\-s\fP'' flag is used
58 to specify the approximate number of entries in the new database.
59 Accurately specifying the size is an optimization that will create a more
60 efficient database. Size is measured in key-value pairs (i.e., lines).
61 (The size should be the estimated eventual size of the file, typically
62 the size of the old file.)
