6 cgi_to_db - convert stored CGI files (from CGI.pm) to fsdb
7
9 cgi_to_db [-duU] [-e EmptyValue] [cgi-files...]
10
12 Converts all stored CGI files (from CGI.pm) to fsdb, optionally
13 unescaping the contents. When contents are unescaped, CR NL is recoded
14 as ``\n''.
15
16 Output is always in fsdb list format with double space (type ``S'')
17 field separator.
18
19 Unlike most Fsdb programs, the input to this program is not usually
20 from standard input. However, the program will take "-i" options.
21
22 This program requires temporary storage equal to the size of the data
23 (so that it can handle the case of different entries having different
24 headers).
25
27 -u or --unescape
28 do unescape data, converting CGI escape codes like %xx to regular
29 characters (default)
30
31 -U or --nounescape
32 do not unescape data, but leave it CGI-encoded
33
34 -e E or --empty E
35 give value E as the value for empty (null) records
36
37 -T TmpDir
38 where to put tmp files. Also uses environment variable TMPDIR, if
39 -T is not specified. Default is /tmp.
40
41 This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
42
43 -d Enable debugging output.
44
45 -i or --input InputSource
46 Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
47 input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
48 objects.
49
50 -o or --output OutputDestination
51 Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
52 standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
53 Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
54
55 --autorun or --noautorun
56 By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
57 objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The
58 "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
59
60 --help
61 Show help.

63 --man
