NAME
       gwu - Dump a GeneWeb database

SYNOPSIS
       gwu [ options ] < base_file >

DESCRIPTION
       gwu dumps the contents of the GeneWeb database to standard output.
       It's  a  good  way  to  backup  the database in a neutral form, and can
       facilitate upgrades to new software.

       The primary documentation of gwu is in the HTML documentation, which
       you  can find in the documentation directory (/usr/share/doc/geneweb on
       Debian systems).
       Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.

OPTIONS
       -help               command-line help

       -o <file>           output file name (else stdout)

       -odir <dir>         create files from original name in directory (else
                           on -o file)

       -mem                save memory space, but slower

       -a <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select ancestors of ...

       -d <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select descendants of ...

       -ad <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select ancestors of ... and all their descendants
                           (has no effect if -a and/or -d used, option -nsp is
                           forced).

       -aws <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select ancestors with siblings

       -s <surname>        select this surname (option usable several times)

       -nsp                no spouses' parents (for options -s and -d)

       -nn                 no (database) notes

       -c <num>            When a person is born less than <num> years ago, it
                           is not exported unless it is Public. All the
                           spouses and descendants are also censored.

       -sep 1st_name.num surname
                           To use together with the option "-odir": separate
                           this person and all his ancestors and descendants
                           sharing the same surname. All the concerned
                           families are displayed on standard output instead
                           of their associated files. This option can be used
                           several times.

       -sep_only_file <file>
                           With option "-sep", tells to separate only groups
                           of that file.

       -sep_limit <num>    When using the option "-sep", groups of families
                           can become isolated in the files. Gwu reconnects
                           them to the separated families (i.e.  displays them
                           to standard output) if the size of these groups is
                           less than 21. The present option changes this
                           limit.
