NAME

mvdb - move a FirstBase database to a new file name

SYNOPSIS

mvdb source_database destination_database

DESCRIPTION

Mvdb is a simple shell script that moves a database and all necessary support files to a new destination. The move is done interactively using the -i option of mv(1). Mvdb will ask permission to destroy existing files.

Formally, three files are moved: the database itself, the database dictionary, and the database record map. The source files are actually just renamed -- no copying takes place.

FILES

*.cdb
FirstBase database.

*.ddict
FirstBase database dictionary.

*.map
record map of FirstBase database.

SEE ALSO

mv(1), firstbase(5), dictionaries(5), cpdb(8)
