Examining Berkeley DB files from the CLI

Question

I have a set of Berkeley DB files on my Linux file system that I'd like to examine.

What useful tools exist for getting a quick overview of the contents? I can write Perl scripts that use BDB modules for examining them, but I'm looking for some CLI utility to be able to take a look inside without having to start writing scripts.

Check out the db-utils package. If you use apt, you can install it with the following: apt-get install db4.4-util
