pdbdump - Print the contents of a Palm PDB file
pdbdump [options] filename
pdbdump
pdbdump reads a PalmOS .pdb file, parses it, and prints its contents. This includes both a hex dump of the raw data of each piece, and a human-readable list of the various values, insofar as possible. The aim of pdbdump is to allow one to verify whether a particular file is a well-formed PalmOS database file and if not, where the error lies.
If the database is of a known type, pdbdump parses the AppInfo block and records. Otherwise, it simply prints out a hex dump of their contents. pdbdump includes, by default, support for most of the built-in applications. Other helper modules may be loaded with the -M option.
