## Description

`dbd` scans all file and directories of AFP volumes, updating the CNID database of the volume. It must be run with appropriate permissions i.e. as root..

## Options

-c

- convert from "`appledouble = v2`" to "`appledouble = ea`"

-f

- delete and recreate CNID database

-F

- location of the afp.conf config file

-s

- scan volume: treat the volume as read only and don't perform any filesystem modifications

-t

- show statistics while running

-u

- username for use with AFP volumes using user variable $u

-v

- verbose

-V

- display version info

## CNID background

The CNID backends maintains name to ID mappings. If you change a filename outside afpd(8) (shell, samba), the CNID database will not reflect that change. Netatalk tries to recover from such inconsistencies as gracefully as possible.
