NAME

       pspp-dump-sav - dissect SPSS system file

SYNOPSIS

       pspp-dump-sav [-d | --data[=maxcases]] file...
       pspp-dump-sav --help | -h
       pspp-dump-sav --version | -v

DESCRIPTION

       The pspp-dump-sav program reads each SPSS system file file and prints its contents.  The output format is
       useful  for  debugging  system  file  readers and writers and for discovering how to interpret unknown or
       poorly understood records.  End users may find the  output  useful  for  providing  the  PSPP  developers
       information about system files that PSPP does not accurately read.

OPTIONS

       -d[maxcases]
       --data[=maxcases]
              By  default, pspp-dump-sav does not print any of the data in a system file, only the file headers.
              Specify this option to print the data as well.  If maxcases  is  specified,  then  it  limits  the
              number of cases printed.

       -h
       --help Prints a usage message on stdout and exits.

       -v
       --version
              Prints version information on stdout and exits.

BUGS

       Some  errors  that  prevent files from being interpreted successfully cause pspp-dump-sav to exit without
       reading any additional files given on the command line.
