Example:

$ mupip extract -format=go -freeze big.glo

This command prevents database updates during a MUPIP EXTRACT operation.

Example:

$ mupip extract -format=GO mumps_i.go

This command creates an extract file called mumps_i.go in "Global Output" format. Use this format to transport or archive files. The first record of a GO format file contains the header label, "GT.M MUPIP EXTRACT," as text.

Example:

$ mupip extract -format=BINARY v5.bin

This command creates an extract file called v5.bin in Binary format. Use this format for reorganizing a database or for short-term backups.

Example:

$ mupip extract -format=ZWR -LABEL=My_Label My_Extract_File

This example extracts all globals from the current database to file My_Extract_File (in ZWRITE format) with label My_Label.

Example:

$ mupip extract -nolog FL.GLO

This command creates a global output file, FL.GLO, (which consists of all global variables in the database) without displaying statistics on a global-by-global basis. As there is no label specified, the first record in FL.GLO contains the text string "GT.M MUPIP EXTRACT."

Example:

$ mupip extract -select=Tyrannosaurus /dev/tty

This command instructs EXTRACT to dump the global ^Tyrannosaurus to the device (file-name) /dev/tty.
