bsondump lists wrong options

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • Priority: Icon: Minor - P4 Minor - P4
    • 1.7.0
    • Affects Version/s: 1.6.0
    • Component/s: Tools
    • None
    • ALL

      The tools headers include options to connect to a server and some other things (like specifying a collection to work with) which are not appropriate to this tool. This program should probably get its own explicit args listed for "--help" and a better description listed about json/debug output.

      $ ./bsondump --help
      usage: .\bsondump.exe [options] <bson filename>
      options:
      --help produce help message
      -v [ --verbose ] be more verbose (include multiple times for more
      verbosity e.g. -vvvvv)
      -h [ --host ] arg mongo host to connect to ("left,right" for pairs)
      --port arg server port. Can also use --host hostname:port
      -d [ --db ] arg database to use
      -c [ --collection ] arg collection to use (some commands)
      -u [ --username ] arg username
      -p [ --password ] arg password
      --ipv6 enable IPv6 support (disabled by default)
      --dbpath arg directly access mongod database files in the given
      path, instead of connecting to a mongod server -
      needs to lock the data directory, so cannot be used
      if a mongod is currently accessing the same path
      --directoryperdb if dbpath specified, each db is in a separate
      directory
      --objcheck validate object before inserting
      --filter arg filter to apply before inserting
      --type arg (=json) type of output: json,debug
