dbwhich - find a DB file and print its pathname
dbwhich [ -r
record ] filename
dbwhich [ -r record ] file-type record
This
program searches the DB path (as specified by the environment variable
DB, see setdb(1)
) for a specified filename, or for a file of a specified
file-type (e.g., `header' or `atruth') which belongs to a specified record. If
the file can be found, its full pathname is written to the standard output,
and dbwhich exits with an exit status of zero (indicating success). If
the file cannot be found, a diagnostic message, including the current
value of the DB path, is written to the standard error output, and dbwhich
exits with a non-zero exit status.
If the DB path includes `%r', use the -r
record option to specify the record name to be substituted for `%r'.
