    NAME
           empexpt - export an EMPRESS database

    SYNOPSIS
           empexpt  [-notable] [-nomodule] [-demvx] [-h user_label_string] outfile
           database [ [-table] table ... } ] [ -module module ... ]

    DESCRIPTION
           Empexpt exports tables from an EMPRESS database.  A list of tables sep-
           arated by spaces specifies the tables to be exported.  If no tables are
           specified, all tables in the database are exported.  Indices, lock lev-
           els, comments, range checks and privilege information are exported with
           each table.

           The output is written to the specified "outfile".  If this is "-"  out-
           put is written to standard output.

           You  should not attempt to explicitly export data from the data dictio-
           nary tables.  However, you may export comments, lock levels and indices
           from them (using the -d option).

           You  must  have EMPRESS "display" privilege to export a table's defini-
           tion, amd both "display" and "select" privileges to export its data.

           The program may not be interrupted  during  critical  phases;  pressing
           interrupt several times will usually stop the program.

           -notable  Suppresses exporting of all table definitions, comments, lock
                     levels, indices, range checks, referential checks and data.

           -nomodule Suppresses exporting all module definition.

           -d        Suppresses exporting of the data.   Only  table  definitions,
                     comments, lock levels, indices and range checks are exported.

           -e        Ignore errors and continue with  exporting.   Default  is  to
                     report and stop whenever an error is encountered.

           -h        Put  a  user  information string into export file header.  An
                     example of its usage is

                          -h "This is a user information string"

                     The string is displayed when the import utility  is  used  to
                     display the header only.

           -m        Suppresses exporting of trigger definition.

           -v        Causes execution in verbose mode.  Verbose messages are writ-
                     ten to standard output.  Otherwise execution is silent except
                     for table names and error messages written to standard error.

           -x        Do not perform checksum calculation on export data.   Default
                     is  to perform checksum on the table data exported.  A check-
                     sum is always performed on primary header of the export file.

           -table    When  this  is  specified,  only tables provides in the table
                     list will be exported.

           -module   When this is specified, only modules provided in  the  module
                     list will be exported.
