man pdbdump () - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
NAME
pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
SYNOPSIS
CWpdbdump [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
CWpdbdump 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 CWpdbdump 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, CWpdbdump parses the AppInfo block and records. Otherwise, it simply prints out a hex dump of their contents. CWpdbdump includes, by default, support for most of the built-in applications. Other helper modules may be loaded with the CW-M option.
OPTIONS
- -h -help --help
- Print a usage message and exit.
- -nohex
- Don't print the hex dump of the various parts.
- -Mmodule
- CWuse the named module. This can be useful for loading additional helper modules.
BUGS
CWpdbdump only recognizes record databases (CW.pdb files), not resource databases (CW.prc files).
