db_printlog [-NrV] [-h home]
The db_printlog utility is a debugging utility that dumps Berkeley DB log files in a human-readable format.
The options are as follows:
For more information on the db_printlog output and using it to debug applications, see Reviewing Berkeley DB log files.
The db_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 environment, db_printlog should always be given the chance to detach from the environment and exit gracefully. To cause db_printlog to release all environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).
The db_printlog utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
