NAME
mdb-header - Write header file from an MDB database
SYNOPSIS
mdb-header [database]
DESCRIPTION
mdb-header is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It will dump the names and types of the tables and columns in an MDB database in a C header format.
It will create three files - types.h and dumptypes.[ch]

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
mdb-header is deprecated. Soon, it will no longer be distributed.
It is the feeling of developers that it is not used, as C code generation is now usually replaced by more generic approaches, including libmdb calls and odbc.
However, should you find this tool useful, drop us a line at https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/issues/197 and we’ll consider maintaining it.
