DESCRIPTION

       Create  a gdbm database file DB_FILE from the dump file FILE.  If the FILE argument is not
       supplied, output the created database to the standard error.

       If the input file is in ASCII dump format, the mode and ownership of the created  database
       are  restored  from the information in the dump.  This can be overridden using the command
       line options (see below).
