6 dbfilevalidate - insure the source input is a well-formed Fsdb file
7
9 dbfilevalidate [-vc]
10
12 Validates the input file to make sure it is a well-formed fsdb file.
13 If the file is well-formed, it outputs the whole file and exits with a
14 good exit code. For invalid files, it exits with an error exit code
15 and embedded error messages in the stream as comments with "***" in
16 them.
17
18 Currently this program checks for rows with missing or extra columns.
19
21 -v or --errors-only
22 Output only broken lines, not the whole thing.
23
24 -c or --correct
25 Correct errors, if possible. Pad out rows with the empty value;
26 truncate rows with extra values. If errors can be corrected the
27 program exits with a good return code.
28
29 "-e E" or "--empty E"
30 give value E as the value for empty (null) records
31
32 This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
33
34 -d Enable debugging output.
35
36 -i or --input InputSource
37 Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
38 input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
39 objects.
40
41 -o or --output OutputDestination
42 Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
43 standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
44 Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
45
46 --autorun or --noautorun
47 By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
48 objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The
49 "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
