usqlite

Minimal SQLite3 exec wrapper

SQLite3 provides a very capable query tool but it may be too large to be included in the filesystem of an embedded device: for instance in the RW flash of the Humax HD/HDR-Fox T2 set-top boxes. This query applet is intended for use in such limiting cases.

Usage: usqlite [OPTIONS] ["SQL command;" ...] [< SQL_script]

Execute SQL commands on SQLite databases

Options:
  -C, --show-columns        Show column names (if any) as headers of 
                            query results
  -S,                       String to separate columns in query 
  --column-separator=SEP    results (default "|")
  -v, --verbose             Log details to stderr
  -V, --version,            Print program version, licensing and  
                            warranty details to stderr, and continue
  --                        Subsequent parameters are not options
  -h, --help, -?            Print this help to stderr and exit
                                          
To cancel reading from stdin in a POSIX shell, use the input 
redirection "<&-".

u is an abbreviation for micro popular in the typewriter era before it was easy to write the Greek letter μ (mu), or it could stand for unplasticised which would be equally valid as the Makefile avoids the -fplasticise compiler flag.
