NAME
  ttdbck - display, check, or repair ToolTalk databases

SYNOPSIS
  ttdbck [selection opts] [diagnosis opts] [display opts] [repair opts]
  [data-base-directory]...

OPTIONS
  data-base-directory
      Names the directory or directories containing the ToolTalk database to
      be inspected or repaired. If no directories are named, the current
      directory is assumed.  If a directory path does not end in "TT_DB",
      "TT_DB" is appended.

      The user running the command must have read access to the files in the
      directory to inspect the data and write access to repair the data.
      Since ToolTalk databases are typically accessible only to root, this
      command is normally run as root.

  Selection options

  The selection options determine which specs in the database are displayed
  or modified.	If no selection options are given, all specs in the database
  are displayed.  To prevent massive accidental changes to ToolTalk
  databases, no repair options except -I are allowed unless a selection or
  diagnosis option is given.

  -f filename
      Restricts the set of specs to be inspected or modified to those which
      describe objects in the named file. The file name can contain shell-
      style wildcards which must be escaped to prevent the shell from
      expanding them.

  -k objidkey
      An object id key, specifying a particular spec to be displayed or
      modified. The object id key can be obtained from a previous invocation
      of ttdbck; one might display a set of specs, determine the one that
      needs repair, and specify its key here.

  -t type
      Restricts the set of specs to be inspected or modified to those with
      otype type. The type name can contain shell-style wildcards which must
      be escaped to prevent the shell from expanding them.

  Diagnosis options

  These options check for and report on inconsistencies in the selected
  specs. Only specs selected by the selection options are checked.  If a
  diagnosis option is given, any display or repair option is applied only to
  specs which fail the diagnostic check.

  -b  Check for badly formed specs: those which have no file or type or those
      which have types not defined in the type database.

  -x  Check for specs which refer to files that no longer exist.

  Display options

  These options determine which data is printed for each selected spec.

  -i  Display the object id (including the object id key.)

  -m  Display the mandatory data that must appear in every spec: the otype of
      the object described by the spec and the file in which the spec is
      stored.

  -p  Display all the properties and values for each selected spec.

  -a  Display all data (equivalent to specifying -imp)

  Repair options

  -I  Invoke the NetISAM isrepair() function for all files accessed. This
      action is applied before any other inspection or repair action. This
      option should be used when normal operations return EBADFILE (error
      code 105).

  -F filename
      Change the file name for the selected specs to the supplied file name.

  -T otypeid
      Change the type of the selected specs to the given otype.

  -Z  Remove the selected specs entirely.

DESCRIPTION
  The ttdbck command is the ToolTalk database maintenance tool. It allows
  direct inspection of ToolTalk spec data, detection of inconsistencies, and
  repair of problems.

NOTES
  The ttdbck command should be run on the same machine where the TT_DB files
  being inspected and repaired physically exist.  That is, don't try to
  access the TT_DB files via NFS.

EXAMPLES
  In the /home/TT_DB directory, finds all badly formed specs and specs that
  refer to non-existent files and prints their ids.

       ttdbck -bxi /home

  In the /home/TT_DB directory, finds all specs that refer to objects in file
  /home/sample/data and changes them to refer to /home/sample/data1.

       ttdbck -f /home/sample/data -F /home/sample/data1 /home

  In the /export/TT_DB directory, finds all specs that refer to objects of
  type Sample_Otype_Name and deletes the specs.

       ttdbck -t Sample_Otype_Name -Z /export/TT_DB

FILES
  /path/TT_DB
      ToolTalk database
