Using the Verity didump utility 151
Viewing the zone list with the didump utility
The zone list contains a list of the zones identified by the zone filter. You can search the zones
listed using the Verity IN operator in a query. To view the contents of the zone list, use the
didump utility with the
-zones flag plus the pathname to a partition, like the following:
didump -zones /z/collbldg/html/parts/00000003.did
This partition is for a collection containing the Verity Collection Building Guide in HTML
format. The Verity universal filter invoked the HTML filter by default, and indexed the
documents using these zones.
