.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`gcj\-dbtool\*(C'\fR is a tool for creating and manipulating class file
mapping databases.  \f(CW\*(C`libgcj\*(C'\fR can use these databases to find a
shared library corresponding to the bytecode representation of a
class.  This functionality is useful for ahead-of-time compilation of
a program that has no knowledge of \f(CW\*(C`gcj\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`gcj\-dbtool\*(C'\fR works best if all the jar files added to it are
compiled using \f(CW\*(C`\-findirect\-dispatch\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Note that \f(CW\*(C`gcj\-dbtool\*(C'\fR is currently available as \*(L"preview
technology\*(R".  We believe it is a reasonable way to allow
application-transparent ahead-of-time compilation, but this is an
unexplored area.  We welcome your comments.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-n\fR \fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR \fB[\fR\fI\s-1SIZE\s0\fR\fB]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-n DBFILE [SIZE]"
This creates a new database.  Currently, databases cannot be resized;
you can choose a larger initial size if desired.  The default size is
32,749.
.IP "\fB\-a\fR \fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR\fB \fR\fI\s-1JARFILE\s0\fR\fB \fR\fI\s-1LIB\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a DBFILE JARFILE LIB"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-f\fR \fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR\fB \fR\fI\s-1JARFILE\s0\fR\fB \fR\fI\s-1LIB\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f DBFILE JARFILE LIB"
.PD
This adds a jar file to the database.  For each class file in the jar,
a cryptographic signature of the bytecode representation of the class
is recorded in the database.  At runtime, a class is looked up by its
signature and the compiled form of the class is looked for in the
corresponding shared library.  The \fB\-a\fR option will verify
that \fI\s-1LIB\s0\fR exists before adding it to the database; \fB\-f\fR
skips this check.
.IP "\fB[\fR\fB\-\fR\fB][\fR\fB\-0\fR\fB] \-m\fR \fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR\fB \fR\fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR\fB,[\fR\fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR\fB]\fR" 4
.IX Item "[-][-0] -m DBFILE DBFILE,[DBFILE]"
Merge a number of databases.  The output database overwrites any
existing database.  To add databases into an existing database,
include the destination in the list of sources.
.Sp
If \fB\-\fR or \fB\-0\fR are used, the list of files to read is
taken from standard input instead of the command line.  For
\&\fB\-0\fR, Input filenames are terminated by a null character
instead of by whitespace.  Useful when arguments might contain white
space.  The \s-1GNU\s0 find \-print0 option produces input suitable for this
mode.
.IP "\fB\-t\fR \fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-t DBFILE"
Test a database.
.IP "\fB\-l\fR \fI\s-1DBFILE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l DBFILE"
List the contents of a database.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p"
Print the name of the default database.  If there is no default
database, this prints a blank line.  If \fI\s-1LIBDIR\s0\fR is specified, use
it instead of the default library directory component of the database
name.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Print a help message, then exit.
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4
.IX Item "-v"
.PD
Print version information, then exit.
