NAME
cdbsplit - program to operate cookie (fortune) database
SYNOPSIS
cdbsplit
[options] <cookie-database> <hitfile>
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cdbsplit command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it
has some plaintext documentation, see below.
cdbsplit is a program that can be used to operate cookie database
in standard fortune(6) format, i.e. list of `cookies' delimited with
line containing a single percent (`%') char. With `cdbsplit' you
can split cookie database, or extract parts of it depending on various
criter
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see
the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory.
NOTE, that default behaviour is to overwrite existing database
with its reduced version, so the cookies are MOVED to hitfile. The
hitfile is never overwritten, but may be appended to.
