Copies the entire dababase to the keep_file. The keep_file is a BRL-CAD database file and will be located in the current working direction (use the pwd command to show the current working directory). Note the new file might have a smaller filesize than the current file as dumping the file has the same effect that the garbage_collect command has. See also the keep command.
The example shows the use of the dump command to copy the entire database to a designated file.
Example 1. Copy the database to a designated file.
