NAME
pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
SYNOPSIS
"pdbdump" [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
"pdbdump" reads a PalmOS .pdb file, parses it, and prints its contents.
This includes both a hex dump of the raw data of each piece, and a
human-readable list of the various values, insofar as possible. The
aim of "pdbdump" is to allow one to verify whether a particular file is
a well-formed PalmOS database file and if not, where the error lies.
If the database is of a known type, "pdbdump" parses the AppInfo block
and records. Otherwise, it simply prints out a hex dump of their
contents. "pdbdump" includes, by default, support for most of the
built-in applications. Other helper modules may be loaded with the "-M"
option.
OPTIONS
-h -help --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-nohex
Don't print the hex dump of the various parts.
-Mmodule
"use" the named module. This can be useful for loading additional
helper modules.
BUGS
"pdbdump" only recognizes record databases (".pdb" files), not resource
databases (".prc" files).
