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).
