 ### The LMDB database
 
-`ocat --load` and `ocat --dump` can be use to load and dump the lmdb database respectively. There is some support for loading/dumping named databases using `--load=xx` or `--dump=xx` to specify the name. Use the mdb utilities to actually perform backups of these. `--load` expects key/value strings in pairs, separated by exactly one space. If the value is the string `DELETE`, the key is deleted from the database, which allows us to, say, remove a whole bunch of geohash prefixes in one go (but be careful doing this):
