`dbwrap_tool` --persistent --non-persistent -d <debug level> -s <config file> -l <log file base> -V --option=<name>=<value> <database> <operation> <key> <type> <value>

## DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the samba 7 suite.

The dbwrap_tool program is used to read and manipulate TDB/CTDB databases using the dbwrap interface.

The following database operations are available:

- fetch: fetch a record

- store: create or modify a record

- delete: remove a record

- exists: test for existence of a record

- erase: remove all records

- listkeys: list all available records

- listwatchers: list processes, which are waiting for changes in a record

The following types are available:

- int32: signed 32bit integer

- uint32: unsigned 32bit integer

- string: "hello world"

- hex: hex strings like "68656C6C6F20776F726C6400" ("hello world")

## OPTIONS

--persistent

  Open the database as a persistent database.

  Exactly one of --persistent and --non-persistent must be specified.

--non-persistent

  Open the database as a non-persistent database.

  Caveat: opening a database as non-persistent when there is currently no other opener will wipe the database.

  Exactly one of --persistent and --non-persistent must be specified.
