NAME

       pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file

SYNOPSIS

       "pdbdump" [options] filename

DESCRIPTION

       "pdbdump" reads a PalmOS .pdb file, parses it, and prints its contents. This includes both
       a hex dump of the raw data of each piece, and a human-readable list of the various values,
       insofar as possible.  The aim of "pdbdump" is to allow one to verify whether a particular
       file is a well-formed PalmOS database file and if not, where the error lies.

       If the database is of a known type, "pdbdump" parses the AppInfo block and records.
       Otherwise, it simply prints out a hex dump of their contents. "pdbdump" includes, by
       default, support for most of the built-in applications. Other helper modules may be loaded
       with the "-M" option.

OPTIONS

       -h -help --help
           Print a usage message and exit.

       -nohex
           Don't print the hex dump of the various parts.

       -Mmodule
           "use" the named module. This can be useful for loading additional helper modules.

BUGS

       "pdbdump" only recognizes record databases (".pdb" files), not resource databases (".prc"
       files).
