NAME
     sdump - dump contents of database file

SYNOPSIS
     sdump (-I) (-i item) (-a item) (-f) (-h) (-T) (-v) file

DESCRIPTION
     sdump is a program to give a  listing  of  the  contents  of
     database files in a fairly unprocessed form.  Default opera-
     tion is to list all item headers and to summarise data  sets
     using the first few frames.

     Options and their meanings are:

     -I         Identify program and exit.

     -iitem     Select first item matching item specification.

     -atype     Select all items matching item specification.

     -f         dump selected items  in  full,  rather  than  the
                first few frames.

     -h         dump main header only.

     -T         Force terminal output video enhancement  (default
                is   use  video  enhancement  only  when  talking
                directly to a terminal).

     -v         Follow links to virtual items, rather than simply
                reporting them.
