NAME

       pspp-dump-sav - dissect SPSS system file

SYNOPSIS

       pspp-dump-sav [-d | --data[=maxcases]] file...
       pspp-dump-sav --help | -h
       pspp-dump-sav --version | -v

DESCRIPTION

       The  pspp-dump-sav program reads each SPSS system file file and prints its contents.  It is not installed
       by default, so it may be missing from your PSPP installation.  The output format is useful for  debugging
       system  file  readers  and  writers  and  for  discovering  how to interpret unknown or poorly understood
       records.  End users may find the output useful for providing the PSPP developers information about system
       files that PSPP does not accurately read.

OPTIONS

       -d[maxcases]
       --data[=maxcases]
              By default, pspp-dump-sav does not print any of the data in a system file, only the file  headers.
              Specify  this  option  to  print  the  data as well.  If maxcases is specified, then it limits the
              number of cases printed.

       -h
       --help Prints a usage message on stdout and exits.

       -v
       --version
              Prints version information on stdout and exits.

BUGS

       Some errors that prevent files from being interpreted successfully cause pspp-dump-sav  to  exit  without
       reading any additional files given on the command line.
