Description

Dump the contents of a DataMap index file.

Many file formats that use the DataMap format have associated index files. The index file contains a record time and file offset to quickly locate a particular block or record. These index files nearly always have the same format and this utility provides a plain ASCII dump of an index.

If the "-xtd" option is specified then the index file is assumed to be an extended index and contain both the start time and stop time of each record.

Examples

inxdump test.inx | more

Dump the index file "test.inx", paginating using the more command.

inxdump -xtd test.inx > inx.txt

Dump the extended index file "test.inx", and store it in the file "inx.txt"
