SYNOPSIS

brecsum [-d db][-h][-p pin][-P pass][-v]

DESCRIPTION

brecsum downloads the specified database(s) and computes a SHA1 checksum on each raw record it finds. The SHA1 sums are written to stdout.

This is mainly useful for verifying the integrity of restored data during testing.

OPTIONS

-d db

Specify the database to download and sum. This option may be given multiple times to fetch more than one database. See btool's -t option to retrieve a list of databases on your device.

-i

Include DB Name, Type, and Unique record IDs in the checksums.

-p pin

Specify the PIN of the device to talk to. Only needed if there are multiple Blackberries plugged into your system at once.

-P pass

Simplistic method to specify device password. In a real application, this would be done using a more secure prompt.

-v

Dump verbose protocol data during operation.

-h, --help

Show summary of options.

RETURN STATUS

In the event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr, with an error code of 1.
