NAME

6       tabdelim_to_db - convert tab-delimited data into fsdb
7

SYNOPSIS

9           tabdelim_to_db <source.tabdelim >target.fsdb
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Converts a tab-delimited data stream to Fsdb format.
13
14       The input is tab-delimited (not fsdb): the first row is taken to be the
15       names of the columns; tabs separate columns.
16
17       The output is a fsdb file with a proper header and a tab field-
18       separator.
19
20       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
21
22       -d  Enable debugging output.
23
24       -i or --input InputSource
25           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
26           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
27           objects.
28
29       -o or --output OutputDestination
30           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
31           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
32           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
33
34       --autorun or --noautorun
35           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
36           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
37           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
38
39       --help
40           Show help.
41
42       --man
43           Show full manual.
