<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The db_load utility reads from the standard input and
loads it into the database db_file. The database db_file
is created if it does not already exist.
The input to db_load must be in the output format
specified by the db_dump or db_dump185 utilities (see
<B><A HREF="db_dump.html">db_dump(1)</A></B> for more information), or as specified for the
<B>-T</B> option below.
The options are as follows:
<B>-c</B> Specify configuration options for the DB_INFO
structure provided to <B><A HREF="db_open.html">db_open(3)</A></B>, ignoring any value
they may have based on the input. The command-line
format is ``name=value''. Supported keywords are
listed below.
<B>-f</B> Read from the specified input file instead of from
the standard input.
<B>-h</B> Specify a home directory for the database.
If a home directory is specified, the database
environment is opened using the DB_INIT_LOCK,
DB_INIT_LOG, DB_INIT_MPOOL, DB_INIT_TXN and
DB_USE_ENVIRON flags to <B><A HREF="db_appinit.html">db_appinit(3)</A></B>. (This means
that db_load can be used to load data into databases
while they are in use by other processes.) If the
db_appinit call fails, or if no home directory is
specified, the database is still updated, but the
environment is ignored, e.g., no locking is done.
<B>-n</B> Do not overwrite existing keys in the database when
loading into an already existing database. If a
key/data pair cannot be loaded into the database for
this reason, a warning message is displayed on the
standard error output and the key/data pair are
skipped.
<B>-T</B> The <B>-T</B> option allows non-DB applications to easily
load text files into databases.
If the database to be created is of type <B>btree</B> or
<B>hash</B>, the input must be paired lines of text, where
the first line of the pair is the key item, and the
second line of the pair is its corresponding data
item. If the database to be created is of type
<B>recno</B>, the input must be lines of text, where each
line is a new data item for the database.
A simple escape mechanism, where newline and
backslash (``\'') characters are special, is applied
to the text input. Newline characters are
interpreted as record separators. Backslash
characters in the text will be interpreted in one of
two ways: if the backslash character precedes another
backslash character, the pair will be interpreted as
a literal backslash. If the backslash character
precedes any other character, the two characters
following the backslash will be interpreted as
hexadecimal specification of a single character,
e.g., ``\0a'' is a newline character in the ASCII
character set.
For this reason, any backslash or newline characters
that naturally occur in the text input must be
escaped to avoid misinterpretation by db_load.
If the <B>-T</B> option is specified, the underlying access
method type must be specified using the <B>-t</B> option.
<B>-t</B> Specify the underlying access method. If no <B>-t</B>
option is specified, the database will be loaded into
a database of the same type as was dumped, e.g., a
hash database will be created if a hash database was
dumped.
Btree and hash databases may be converted from one to
the other. Recno databases may not be converted to
any other database type or from any other database
type.
The db_load utility exits 0 on success, 1 if one or more
key/data pairs were not loaded into the database because
the key already existed, and &gt;1 if an error occurs.

<H2>KEYWORDS</H2><PRE>
The following keywords are supported for the <B>-c</B> command-
line option. See <B><A HREF="db_open.html">db_open(3)</A></B> for further discussion of
these keywords and what values should be specified.
The parenthetical listing specifies how the value part of
the ``name=value'' pair is interpreted. Items listed as
(boolean) expect value to be ``1'' (set) or ``0'' (unset).
Items listed as (number) convert value to a number. Items
listed as (string) use the characters of value directly.
bt_minkey (number)
The minimum number of keys per page.
db_lorder (number)
The byte order for integers in the stored database
metadata.
db_pagesize (number)
The size of pages used for nodes in the tree, in
bytes.
duplicates (boolean)
The value of the DB_DUP flag.
h_ffactor (number)
The density within the hash table.
h_nelem (number)
The size of the hash table.
re_len (number)
Specify fixed-length records of the specified length.
re_pad (string)
Specify the fixed-length record pad character.
recnum (boolean)
The value of the DB_RECNUM flag.
renumber (boolean)
The value of the DB_RENUMBER flag.

<H2>EXAMPLES</H2><PRE>
The db_load utility can be used to load text files into
databases. For example, the following command loads the
standard UNIX /etc/passwd file into a database, with the
login name as the key item and the entire password entry
as the data item:
awk -F: '{print $1; print $0}' &lt; /etc/passwd |
sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' | db_load -T -t hash passwd.db
Note that backslash characters naturally occurring in the
text are escaped to avoid interpretation as escape
characters by db_load.
</PRE>
<H2>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</H2><PRE>
The following environment variables affect the execution
of db_load:
DB_HOME
If the <B>-h</B> option is not specified and the environment
variable DB_HOME is set, it is used as the path of
the database home, as described in <B><A HREF="db_appinit.html">db_appinit(3)</A></B>.

<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE>
The DB library is a family of groups of functions that
provides a modular programming interface to transactions
and record-oriented file access. The library includes
support for transactions, locking, logging and file page
caching, as well as various indexed access methods. Many
of the functional groups (e.g., the file page caching
functions) are useful independent of the other DB
functions, although some functional groups are explicitly
based on other functional groups (e.g., transactions and
logging). For a general description of the DB package,
