How to read .pag & .dir files.

In the teamsite server under /local/iw-store/default/inodes there are few *.pag and *.dir files.

How to read those files using perl or any other any other tool available handy...

I could see some perl files under /app/iw-home/iw-perl/vendor/lib/sys/fs/ufs_inode.*. What are these files and how and when this files are being used.

Noicholas, thank you very much for the information. But I've already gone thru that and it wasn't much informative.

Acutally What i want to know is ...

1. How to read those database files(*.pag & *.dir) under /local/iw-store/default/inodes.

2. By any chance, can we use the perl files /app/iw-home/iw-perl/vendor/lib/sys/fs/ufs_inode.* for reading the above db files.

3. What/where is the actuall use of the above perl files.

Best of my knowledge

1. How to read those database files(*.pag & *.dir) under /local/iw-store/default/inodes.
Are you sure these are database files? How you know this?

2. By any chance, can we use the perl files /app/iw-home/iw-perl/vendor/lib/sys/fs/ufs_inode.* for reading the above db files.
These files are automatically generated, I don't know why you want to access them thru PERL

3. What/where is the actual use of the above perl files.
These are related to the file system storage(I think for internal usage)

Well, I can say your question is more related to the DESIGN of storage system. Any Interwoven Product Design Engg. could provide exact information on this.

These are not database files, first of all. These are more related to the storage system
=> Generally in unix .pag files will be called as the database file and .dir will be its index file.

2. By any chance, can we use the perl files /app/iw-home/iw-perl/vendor/lib/sys/fs/ufs_inode.* for reading the above db files.

==> Using perl function such as dbmopen or tie it is possible to ready unix db files. But it doesn't really workout for the teamsite pag files. Why i wan't read this, to know whether there's any inode level mapping between files under /iwmnt and /local/iw-store.

3. What/where is the actual use of the above perl files.
These are related to the file system storage(I think for internal usage)
==> That's fine. As these were perl files i though it could be used in any perl code. But i couldn't figure out any perl script or module using them.
