    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>
      ltdbtool is a utility to manipulate CTDB's local TDB databases
      (LTDBs) without connecting to a CTDB daemon.
    </para>

    <para>
      It can be used to:
    </para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  dump the contents of a LTDB, optionally printing the CTDB
	    record header information,
	</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  convert between an LTDB and a non-clustered tdb
	  by adding or removing CTDB headers and
	</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	  <para>convert between 64 and 32 bit LTDBs where the CTDB record
	  headers differ by 4 bytes of padding.
