cdbtest -- run test routines on a constant database


SYNOPSIS

       cdbtest <file


DESCRIPTION

       cdbtest outputs information about a constant database.
       cdbtest assumes that standard input has the database open
       in readable and seekable form (This means pipes will not
       work).

       cdbtest outputs some statistics related to the hash mecha­
       nism of the constant databases:

       found
           number of records found by their keys

       different record
           number of records where a wrong value was found by the
           key. This should happen only if there are identical
           keys.

       bad length
           number of records which had the wrong data length.
           This should always be zero.

       not found
           number of records not found by their key. This should
           never happen.

       too long to test
           number of records with keys bigger than 1024 bytes.
           These are skipped to keep the cdbtest program simple.


RETURN VALUES

       0 on success, 1 on a syntax errors, 111 on transient
       errors.


RESTRICTIONS

       Keys over 1024 bytes long are skipped.
