pickdns-data - Data tool for pickdns

pickdns-data reads local IP addresses from a file named data in the current directory.It creates data.cdb in a binary format designed for fast access by pickdns(8).It may also create some other files with names beginning with data.

pickdns-data updates data.cdb atomically, so you can use it safely while pickdns(8) is running. If anything goes wrong with the creation of data.cdb, pickdns-data stops and leaves the old data.cdb in place.
