NAME
dlb - NetHack data librarian
SYNOPSIS
dlb { xct } [ vfIC ] arguments... [ 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

BUGS
Not a good tar emulation; - does not mean stdin or stdout.
Should include an optional compression facility. Not all
read-only files for NetHack can be read out of an archive;
examining the source is the only way to know which files can
be.
