#db - command line key value store

##SYNOPSIS

db [-f file] key [value]

db [-f file] -k

db [-f file] -d key

##DESCRIPTION

Insert and retrieve strings from a Berkeley DB on the command line. If value is specified, it is stored in the database at key; otherwise, the value already stored at key is printed to stdout. In the alternate forms, all keys can be dumped to stdout, or a given record can be deleted.

##OPTIONS

• -f file: Use file instead of the default database.

• -k: Dump all keys to stdout.

• -d: Delete key from the database instead of retrieving its value.

##ENVIRONMENT

• HOME: If a database file is not specified, and the default database file is not found in the current directory, the user's login directory is searched

##FILES

• .db: Default database file

• ~/.db: Fallback default database file

##BUGS

May continue to do things it shouldn't after an error

A case could probably be made to use a BTREE instead of a HASH

Shouldn't print anything to stdout when key not found, but does

Should allow error messages to be suppressed

Should give a useful exit code
