12 Adds a row to the DBF file named by xbase_file with column values given
13 by the field_values options that follow. A NULL value is denoted by an
14 empty argument.

21 list of values to be inserted into the xBase file. You must
22 specify a number of values equal to the number of fields the
23 xBase file has. The order of values must also reflect the order
24 of fields inside xBase file.

27 dbfadd testbase.dbf REGION1 25.656 150.22
28
29 Assuming that testbase.dbf has 3 fields (NAME, AREA and VALUE), this
30 command line will insert a new record into testbase.dbf with the value
31 "REGION1" for NAME, ´25.656´ for AREA and ´150.22´ for VALUE field.

50 dbfcreate is part of shapelib, maintained by Frank Warmerdam. This
51 guide was created by Eduardo Patoo Kanegae and converted to manpage by
52 Johan Van de Wauw. It was further enhanced with the man page written by
53 Joonas Pihlaja (jpihlaja@cc.helsinki.fi).

56 Field values that are too large to fit in a field are silently trun‐
57 cated from the right. Numeric field values that can´t be parsed by
58 atof(3) get undefined values.
