DESCRIPTION

Indexdump prints to standard output the content of the index file. The type of the index is one of those supported by the XBase::Index Perl module (cdx, idx, ntx, ndx, mdx).

The output contains the index key and the value, which is the record number in the correcponding dbf file.

For mulitag index files (like cdx), you need to specify the tag name to get the actual data.
