DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the dptsv commands.

       The command dptsv features mutual conversion between a database of
       Depot and a TSV text. This command is useful when data exchange with
       another version of QDBM or another DBM, or when data exchange between
       systems which have different byte orders. This command is used in the
       above format. name specifies a database name.

       The subcommand export reads TSV data from the standard input.  If a key
       overlaps, the latter is adopted. -bnum specifies the number of the
       elements of the bucket array. The subcommand import writes TSV data to
       the standard output.
