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).
