ovdb_stat - Display information from the ovdb database
ovdb_stat [-Hgci] [-r artnumrange]
newsgroup [newsgroup ...]
ovdb_stat -HklmMtv [-d database]
ovdb_stat displays information from the ovdb database:
Berkeley DB statistics, newsgroup data, and overview records. The
output can optionally be in HTML format.
The number of overview records stored in the database can be
obtained with the "inndf -n" command.
- -g
- Newsgroup high water mark, low marker mark, article count, and flag for
the given newsgroups (as stored in the ovdb groupinfo database) are
displayed.
- -c
- Similar to -g, except the high water mark, low water mark, and
article count are calculated by actually scanning the overview records and
counting them. This can be a lengthy operation on groups with lots of
articles.
- -i
- Internal data regarding the given newsgroups are displayed.
- -r
artnumrange
- Overview records are retrieved. The artnumrange parameter may be a
single article number, or a range of articles in the format
"low-high".
- -H
- Output is presented in HTML format.
- -k
- Displays lock region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB
"lock_stat()" call.
- -l
- Displays log region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB
"log_stat()" call.
- -m
- Displays global memory pool statistics, as returned by the
Berkeley DB "memp_stat()"
call.
- -M
- Same as -m, and also displays memory pool statistics for each
database file.
- -t
- Displays log region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB
"txn_stat()" call.
- -v
- Displays ovdb version, and Berkeley DB version.
- -d database
- Displays information about the given database, as returned by the
Berkeley DB "db->stat()" call.
This operation may take a long time on busy systems (several minutes or
more).
ovdb_stat may be safely killed with the INT, TERM, or HUP
signals. It catches those signals and exits cleanly. Do not kill
ovdb_stat with other signals, unless absolutely necessary, because it
may leave stale locks in the database environment.
