SYNOPSIS

       ovdb_stat [-Hgci] [-r artnumrange] newsgroup [newsgroup ...]

       ovdb_stat -HklmMtv [-d database]

DESCRIPTION

       ovdb_stat displays information from the ovdb database:  Berkeley DB statistics, newsgroup data, and
       overview records.  The output can optionally be in HTML format.

OPTIONS

       -g  Newsgroup  high  water  mark,  low  marker mark, article count, and flag for the given newsgroups (as
           stored in the ovdb groupinfo database) are displayed.

       -c  Similar to -g, except the high water mark, low water  mark,  and  article  count  are  calculated  by
           actually  scanning the overview records and counting them.  This can be a lengthy operation on groups
           with lots of articles.

       -i  Internal data regarding the given newsgroups are displayed.

       -r artnumrange
           Overview records are retrieved.  The artnumrange parameter may be a single article number, or a range
           of articles in the format "low-high".

       -H  Output is presented in HTML format.

       -k  Displays lock region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB lock_stat() call.

       -l  Displays log region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB log_stat() call.

       -m  Displays global memory pool statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB memp_stat() call.

       -M  Same as -m, and also displays memory pool statistics for each database file.

       -t  Displays log region statistics, as returned by the Berkeley DB txn_stat() call.

       -v  Displays ovdb version, and Berkeley DB version.

       -d database
           Displays information about the given database, as returned by the Berkeley DB db->stat() call.   This
           operation may take a long time on busy systems (several minutes or more).

WARNINGS

       ovdb_stat  may  be  safely killed with the INT, TERM, or HUP signals.  It catches those signals and exits
       cleanly.  Do not kill ovdb_stat with other signals, unless absolutely necessary,  because  it  may  leave
       stale locks in the database environment.
