8 | Constructs a CDB file (see |
9 | .BR cdbmake (1), |
10 | .BR cdbget (1)) |
11 | from the assignments in the |
12 | .I input |
13 | files (or stdin if there are none). |
14 | .PP |
15 | Comments and blank lines in the inputs are ignored; other lines must |
16 | have the form |
17 | .RI ` key |

20 | a convenient tool for building simple CBD files, rather than |
21 | comprehensive one. |

24 | .IB cdb .new |
25 | and renamed to |
26 | .I cdb |
27 | when it's finished. |
