Example - /etc/passwd as readable cmdb

You can even turn readable, write protected files into scorchdb files by defining the columns on the command line

Report all users  (-name) and their shell (-shell) that have /bin/false as a shell

$ scorchdb  --file /etc/passwd -def "name password uid gid group home shell" -fs : false -name -shell
systemd-timesync /bin/false
systemd-network /bin/false
systemd-resolve /bin/false
systemd-bus-proxy /bin/false
syslog /bin/false
_apt /bin/false
lxd /bin/false
messagebus /bin/false
uuidd /bin/false
dnsmasq /bin/false
pollinate /bin/false

--file names the file to use

-fs is the field seperator

-def is a list of the column definitions 

false is a patterm matched string

-name is one of the column fields to return the values from

-shell is one of the column fields to return the values from
