[ files... ] + +DESCRIPTION + Dlb is a file archiving tool in the spirit (and tradition) + of tar for NetHack version 3.1 and higher. It is used to + maintain the archive files from which NetHack reads special + level files and other read-only information. Note that like + tar the command and option specifiers are specified as a + continuous string and are followed by any arguments required + in the same order as the option specifiers. + + This facility is optional and may be excluded during NetHack + configuration. + +COMMANDS + The x command causes dlb to extract the contents of the + archive into the current directory. + + The c command causes dlb to create a new archive from files + in the current directory. + + The t command lists the files in the archive. + +OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS + v verbose output + + f archive specify the archive. Default if f not specified + is LIBFILE (usually the nhdat file in the playground). + + I lfile specify the file containing the list of files to + put in to or extract from the archive if no files are listed + on the command line. Default for archive creation if no + files are listed is LIBLISTFILE. + + C dir change directory. Changes directory before try- + ing to read any files (including the archive and the lfile). + +EXAMPLES + Create the default archive from the default file list: + dlb c + + List the contents of the archive 'foo': + dlb tf foo + +AUTHOR + Kenneth Lorber + + + + + +Oct Last change: 28 1 + + + + + + +DLB(6) 1993 DLB(6) + + + +SEE ALSO + nethack(6), tar(1) + +BUGS + Not a good tar emulation; - does not mean stdin or stdout. + Should include an optional compression facility.
