6 db_to_csv - convert fsdb to the comma-separated-value file-format
7
9 db_to_csv [-C]
10
12 Covert an existing fsdb file to comma-separated value format.
13
14 Input is fsdb format.
15
16 Output is CSV-format plain text (not fsdb).
17
19 -C or <--omit-comments>
20 Also strip all comments.
21
22 This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
23
24 -d Enable debugging output.
25
26 -i or --input InputSource
27 Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
28 input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
29 objects.
30
31 -o or --output OutputDestination
32 Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
33 standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
34 Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
35
36 --autorun or --noautorun
37 By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
38 objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The
39 "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
40
41 --help
42 Show help.
43
44 --man
45 Show full manual.
