Synopsis

Description

The listddb utility program lists the contents of a DDB (Design DataBase) file to an ASCII file.

listddb accepts the listing file name listfile as second argument. This is the name of the ASCII destination file for the listing.

Diagnosis

The error messages issued by listddb are intended to be self-explanatory.

Warnings

The listfile argument is the name of the ASCII file to be created by listddb. listddb does not perform any file existence check, and the destination file is overwritten without any comment. It is strongly recommended to refrain from specifying existing file names unless the destination file is not needed any more.
