ovdb_stat − Display information from the ovdb database
ovdb_stat −Hgci [−r artnumrange] newsgroup [newsgroup ...]
ovdb_stat −Hklmtv [−d database]
ovdb_stat displays information from the ovdb database: Berkeley DB statistics, newsgroup data, and overview records; and optionally outputs in HTML format.
−g |
Newsgroup himark, lowmark, article count, and flag for the given newsgroups (as stored in the ovdb "groupinfo" database) are displayed. |
||
−c |
Similar to −g, except the himark, lowmark, and 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−hi".
−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 DB environment.
