6 dbrow - select rows from an Fsdb file based on arbitrary conditions
7
9 dbrow [-vw] CONDITION [CONDITION...]
10
12 Select rows for which all CONDITIONS are true. Conditions are
13 specified as Perl code, in which column names are be embedded, preceded
14 by underscores.
15
17 -v Invert the selection, picking rows where at least one condition
18 does not match.
19
20 This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
21
22 -d Enable debugging output.
23
24 -w or --warnings
25 Enable warnings in user supplied code.
26
27 -i or --input InputSource
28 Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
29 input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
30 objects.
31
32 -o or --output OutputDestination
33 Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
34 standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
35 Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
36
37 --autorun or --noautorun
38 By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
39 objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The
40 "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
41
42 --header H
43 Use H as the full Fsdb header, rather than reading a header from
44 then input.
45
46 --help
47 Show help.
48
49 --man
50 Show full manual.
51
53 Input:
54 #fsdb account passwd uid gid fullname homedir shell
