NAME
       db5.1_printlog - Dumps Berkeley DB log files in a human-readable format

SYNOPSIS
       db5.1_printlog  [-NrV] [-b start-LSN] [-e stop-LSN] [-h home] [-P pass‐
       word]

DESCRIPTION
       The db5.1_printlog utility is a debugging utility that  dumps  Berkeley
       DB log files in a human-readable format.

OPTIONS
       -b     Display log records starting at log sequence number (LSN) start-
	      LSN; start-LSN is specified as a	file  number,  followed	 by  a
	      slash  (/)  character,  followed	by  an	offset number, with no
	      intervening whitespace.

       -e     Stop displaying log records at log sequence number  (LSN)	 stop-
	      LSN; stop-LSN is specified as a file number, followed by a slash
	      (/) character, followed by an offset number, with no intervening
	      whitespace.

       -h     Specify  a  home	directory  for	the  database  environment; by
	      default, the current working directory is used.

       -N     Do not acquire shared region mutexes while running.  Other prob‐
	      lems,  such  as potentially fatal errors in Berkeley DB, will be
	      ignored as well.	This option is	intended  only	for  debugging
	      errors, and should not be used under any other circumstances.

       -P     Specify an environment password.	Although Berkeley DB utilities
	      overwrite password strings as soon as possible, be  aware	 there
	      may  be  a window of vulnerability on systems where unprivileged
	      users can see command-line arguments or where utilities are  not
	      able  to	overwrite the memory containing the command-line argu‐
	      ments.

       -r     Read the log files in reverse order.

       -V     Write the library version number to  the	standard  output,  and
	      exit.

       The db5.1_printlog utility uses a Berkeley DB environment (as described
       for the -h option, the environment variable  DB_HOME,  or  because  the
       utility	was  run in a directory containing a Berkeley DB environment).
       In order to avoid environment corruption when using a Berkeley DB envi‐
       ronment,	 db5.1_printlog	 should	 always	 be given the chance to detach
       from the environment and exit gracefully.  To cause  db5.1_printlog  to
       release	all  environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an inter‐
       rupt signal (SIGINT).

       The db5.1_printlog utility exits 0 on  success,	and  >0	 if  an	 error
       occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
       DB_HOME
	      If  the  -h option is not specified and the environment variable
	      DB_HOME is set, it is used as the path of the database home,  as
	      described in DB_ENV->open.
