NAME

       cdbget - search for a record in a constant database

SYNOPSIS

       cdbget key [ skip ]

DESCRIPTION

       cdbget  searches  for a record with key key in a constant database.  The constant database
       must be readable (and seekable) on cdbget's standard input.

       Normally cdbget prints the data in the first record with key key and exits 0.  If there is
       no record with the key key, cdbget exits 100 without printing anything.

       If cdbget encounters a read error, write error, or database format error, it complains and
       exits 111.

       Given a numeric skip argument, cdbget skips past the first skip records with key key,  and
       prints the data in the next record.
