text_dump

text_dump()
This function writes a text database dump to the file textdump. text_dump() returns 1 if it is successful, or 0 if it cannot write the text dump. text_dump() uses a temporary file textdump.new to avoid overwriting the old textdump until it has finished; thus, if there is a server or machine crash while the text dump is in progress, the partial text dump will be in textdump.new, and the old textdump will be unmodified.
