The as-dump program is a utility that can you can run offline to examine shared-nothing persistence files and get information such as the ActiveSpaces version the file was created with, the number of entries in the file, and optionally, the data in the file entries. As-dump is useful for examining the data store files created when you are using shared-nothing persistence and detecting possible problems.
The as-dump utility takes a file name as and/or a specific directory name as input. You must provide the full directory path.
If you provide the directory name, as-dump reads all files in the directory or in its subdirectory and prints out information on each of the files. If you specify a filename,
as-dump outputs information for the specified file only.
