NAME

       gwu - Dump a GeneWeb database

SYNOPSIS

       gwu [ options ] < base_file >

DESCRIPTION

       gwu  dumps  the contents of the GeneWeb database to standard output.  It's  a  good  way  to  backup  the
       database in a neutral form, and can facilitate upgrades to new software.

       The primary documentation of gwu is in the HTML documentation, which you  can find in  the  documentation
       directory (/usr/share/doc/geneweb on Debian systems).
       Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.

OPTIONS

       -help               command-line help

       -o <file>           output file name (else stdout)

       -odir <dir>         create files from original name in directory (else on -o file)

       -mem                save memory space, but slower

       -a <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select ancestors of ...

       -d <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select descendants of ...

       -ad <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select  ancestors  of  ...  and  all their descendants (has no effect if -a and/or -d
                           used, option -nsp is forced).

       -aws <1st_name> [num] <surname>
                           select ancestors with siblings

       -s <surname>        select this surname (option usable several times)

       -nsp                no spouses' parents (for options -s and -d)

       -nn                 no (database) notes

       -c <num>            When a person is born less than <num> years ago, it is  not  exported  unless  it  is
                           Public. All the spouses and descendants are also censored.

       -sep 1st_name.num surname
                           To  use  together with the option "-odir": separate this person and all his ancestors
                           and descendants sharing the same surname. All the concerned families are displayed on
                           standard  output  instead  of their associated files. This option can be used several
                           times.

       -sep_only_file <file>
                           With option "-sep", tells to separate only groups of that file.

       -sep_limit <num>    When using the option "-sep", groups of families can become isolated  in  the  files.
                           Gwu  reconnects  them  to  the  separated  families  (i.e.  displays them to standard
                           output) if the size of these groups is less than 21. The present option changes  this
                           limit.
