+# @(#)README 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/4/93
+
+The script file consists of lines with a initial character which is
+the "command" for that line. Legal characters are as follows:
+
+c: compare a record
+ + must be followed by [kK][dD]; the data value in the database
+ associated with the specified key is compared to the specified
+ data value.
+e: echo a string
+ + writes out the rest of the line into the output file; if the
+ last character is not a carriage-return, a newline is appended.
+g: do a get command
+ + must be followed by [kK]
+ + writes out the retrieved data DBT.
+p: do a put command
+ + must be followed by [kK][dD]
+r: do a del command
+ + must be followed by [kK]
+s: do a seq command
+ + writes out the retrieved data DBT.
+f: set the flags for the next command
+ + no value zero's the flags
+D [file]: data file
+ + set the current data value to the contents of the file
+d [data]:
+ + set the current key value to the contents of the line.
+K [file]: key file
+ + set the current key value to the contents of the file
+k [data]:
+ + set the current key value to the contents of the line.
+o [r]: dump [reverse]
+ + dump the database out, if 'r' is set, in reverse order.
+
+Options to dbtest are as follows:
+
+ -f: Use the file argument as the database file.
+ -i: Use the rest of the argument to set elements in the info
+ structure. If the type is btree, then "-i cachesize=10240"
+ will set BTREEINFO.cachesize to 10240.
+ -o: The rest of the argument is the output file instead of
+ using stdout.
+
+Dbtest requires two arguments, the type of access "hash", "recno" or
+"btree", and the script name.
