cvt_cyrusdb¶
Convert a database file between cyrus database formats
Synopsis¶
cvt_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] old-file old-fileformat new-file new-file-format
Description¶
cvt_cyrusdb is used to convert a cyrusdb file between different database backends. Note that you should not attempt to use the same file for input and output.
Running without any options will list the available database backends.
cvt_cyrusdb reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
Note
Note that the file locations are NOT read out of the configuration file, and must be supplied on the command line.
Options¶
- -C config-file¶
Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).
