archive


Handle archive files

Usage:

archive write | read filename

Summary:

The archive command handles archive files. The exact operation depends on the option, and are outlined below:
archive write filename
creates and writes to the file filename a copy of the contents of all database cells.

archive read filename
recovers the database from the contents of the saved archive file filename.

Archive files use the same format as crash recovery files, which is a single file containing all database files with additional metadata about the original location of each file.

Implementation Notes:

archive is implemented as a built-in command in magic.
