MarkLogic Content Pump (mlcp) is a command line tool for getting large or small amounts of data into and out of a MarkLogic Server database. Using mlcp, you can import documents and metadata to a database, export documents and metadata from a database, or copy documents and metadata from one database to another.
The tool supports a variety of input formats--including both flat files and compressed files--on the native file system.
For details, see the mlcp User Guide.
