I saw the foldseek lndb used here and there, but I don't find information about it's function ? Best regards, Dominique MIAS-LUCQUIN.

It creates symlinks for all of the individual database files. Especially with split datafiles (.0, .1, ..., .n) it would be very uncomfortable to call ln -s on all of them.

There are also similar commands for mv, cp and rm for the same purpose.
