Man Pages

The man pages are installed with Pervasive PSQL Server or Client. The following man pages are available:

bcfg bdu bmon btadmin butil clilcadm dbmaint dsnadd isql mkded psregedit psregsvr pvdbpass pvddl pvnetpass rbldcli

To make these man pages available, add $PVSW_ROOT/man to your MANPATH environment variable. If you need more detailed information on a utility or application, see Linux-Only CLI Utilities .

Note
Check the man pages for the most current information. Every effort is made to ensure that the information in this guide matches that in the man pages. On occasion, last-minute changes may be included in the man pages after this guide has been published.

Exclusions

Because the Linux platform is unique, the following area areas in the Pervasive PSQL documentation do not apply to Linux.

The sections, Understanding the Pervasive Component Architecture of the Advanced Operations Guide regarding Overview of Smart Components, Component Identification, or Unique Component Naming do not apply to Pervasive PSQL v9 Service Pack 2.

The section, Understanding the Pervasive Component Architecture of the Advanced Operations Guide regarding Pervasive PSQL Event Logging is different for Pervasive PSQL v9 Service Pack 2 on Linux.

Pervasive PSQL v9 Service Pack 2 uses the standard Linux logging system. Depending on the configuration of /etc/syslog.conf, messages are sent to the syslogd daemon, which does one of the following:

logs it in an appropriate system log

writes it to the system console

forwards it to a list of users

forwards it to syslogd on another host over the network

More information can be found in the man pages for syslogd and syslog.conf.

The section, Configuration Reference of the Advanced Operations Guide regarding the settings for System Cache (Windows/Linux engines only) and Accept Remote Request (Windows/Linux engines only) are ignored in Pervasive PSQL v9 Service Pack 2 for Linux.

The chapter, Manipulating Btrieve Data Files with Maintenance of the Advanced Operations Guide works only on the client for Pervasive PSQL v9 Service Pack 2.
