The dcacheadd program

dcacheadd - add a record to a cache file

SYNOPSIS

dcacheadd CACHE KEY <DATA

DESCRIPTION

dcacheadd adds a a record to an existing cache file CACHE.

DATA may contain arbitrary bytes. KEY may contain any character except the ASCII NUL character (0x00).

OPTIONS

-d, --delete: Delete any existing records with that key. Use this option to ensure that only one record has the new key. May be combined with --transaction.
-N, --no-sync: Do not fsync cache to disk. The default is to call fsync, which waits until the data has been written to disk. This is costly but safe. Using this option is not recommended unless speed is the premium.
-T, --transaction: Delete and add entries in one transaction. The default is to do one operation after each other. With this option all changes will be done at once, ensuring that the cache either contains the old or the new state. Note: this costs memory and disk-space.
--see-also: Where to find related information.
--examples: Usage examples.
--version: Show version: dcacheadd (dcache) 0.6.1-beta2.
--help: Show a list of options or the long help on one. The use with an argument shows the long help text of that option, without an argument it will list all options.
--longhelp: Show longer help texts for all or one option.

EXAMPLES

dcacheadd cache 'passwd' </etc/passwd

  Copies the content of /etc/passwd to the cache.

echo 1234 | dcacheadd cache abcd

  Creates a record with content '1234' and key 'abcd'.
