-G, --id-list-min-size <n> only display index entries with more than <n> ids
-I, --import file Import database instance from file.
-k, --key <key> lookup only a specific key
-l, --id-list-max-size <size> max length of dumped id list
(default 4096; 40 bytes <= size <= 1048576 bytes)
-n, --show-id-list-lenghts display ID list lengths
--remove remove database instance
-r, --show-id-list display the conents of ID list

sample usages:
# list the database instances
dbscan -L /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-supplier1/db/
# dump the entry file
dbscan -f id2entry.db
# display index keys in cn.db4
dbscan -f cn.db4
# display index keys in cn on lmdb
dbscan -f /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-supplier1/db/userroot/cn.db
(Note: Use 'dbscan -L db_home_dir' to get the db instance path)
# display index keys and the count of entries having the key in mail.db4
dbscan -r -f mail.db4
# display index keys and the IDs having more than 20 IDs in sn.db4
dbscan -r -G 20 -f sn.db4
