makedbz - Rebuild dbz files
SYNOPSIS
makedbz [-io] [-f filename] [-s size]
DESCRIPTION
makedbz rebuilds dbz(3) database. The default name of the text file is pathdb/history; to specify a different name, use the -f flag.
OPTIONS -f filename
If the -f flag is used, then the database files are named "filename.dir", "filename.index", and "filename.hash". If the -f flag is not
used, then a temporary link to the name "history.n" is made and the database files are written as "history.n.index" , "history.n.hash"
and "history.n.dir".
-i To ignore the old database, use the -i flag. Using the -o or -s flags implies the -i flag.
-o If the -o flag is used, then the link is not made and any existing history files are overwritten. If the old database exists, makedbz
will use it to determine the size of the new database.
-s size
makedbz will also ignore any old database if the -s flag is used to specify the approximate number of entries in the new database.
Accurately specifying the size is an optimization that will create a more efficient database. Size is measured in key-value pairs
(i.e. lines). (The size should be the estimated eventual size of the file, typically the size of the old file.)
For more information, see the discussion of dbzfresh and dbzsize in dbz(3).

prunehistory - Remove tokens from Usenet history file
SYNOPSIS
prunehistory [-p] [-f filename]
DESCRIPTION
prunehistory modifies a history(5)-format text file to "remove" a set of tokens from it. The tokens are removed by overwriting them with
spaces, so that the size and position of any following entries does not change. This has an effect similar to expiring the article, in
that it is still mentioned in the history database but cannot be retrieved.
prunehistory reads the standard input. The input is taken as a set of lines. Blank lines and lines starting with a number sign ("#") are
ignored. All other lines should consist of a message-ID followed by zero or more other fields (which are ignored). The message-ID is used
as the dbz(3) key to get an offset into the text file. Since innd only appends to the text file, prunehistory does not need to have any
interaction with it.
OPTIONS -p prunehistory will normally complain about lines that do not follow the correct format. If the -p flag is used, then the program will
silently print any invalid lines on its standard output. (Blank lines and comment lines are also passed through.)
This can be useful when prunehistory is used as a filter for other programs such as reap (a legacy program, probably no longer useful
with current versions of INN, but still available at <ftp://ftp.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/.subdisc1/local/jk.collection/>).
-f filename
The default name of the history file is pathdb/history; to specify a different name, use the -f flag.
