+<h1> The <tt>s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+<tt>s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb</tt> decompiles a CDB database
+containing a ruleset suitable for
+<a href="s6-ipcserver-access.html">s6-ipcserver-access<a> or
+<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6-networking/s6-tcpserver-access.html">s6-tcpserver-access<a> and
+that has been compiled with
+<a href="s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs.html">s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs<a>.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+     s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb <em>dir</em> <em>cdbfile</em>
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb decompiles the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdb_(software)">CDB file</a>
+<em>cdbfile</em> into the directory <em>dir</em>, then exits 0. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Notes </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <em>dir</em> must not exist prior to the decompilation. </li>
+ <li> <em>dir</em> must be considered a work in progress as long as
+s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb is running. It is only safe to use <em>dir</em>
+as a ruleset once the program has exited. </li>
+ <li> If s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb fails at some point, the partial
+arborescence at <em>dir</em> is removed. However, this doesn't happen if
+s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb is interrupted by a signal. </li>
+ <li> After the program successfully completes, if <em>cdbfile</em>
+was a suitable candidate for the <tt>-x</tt> option of
+<a href="s6-ipcserver-access.html">s6-ipcserver-access</a> or
+<a href="s6-tcpserver-access.html">s6-tcpserver-access</a>, then
+<em>dir</em> will be a suitable candidate for the <tt>-i</tt> option
+of the same program, implementing the same ruleset. </li>
+</ul>
