NAME

6       csv_to_db - convert comma-separated-value data into fsdb
7

SYNOPSIS

9           csv_to_db <source.csv
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Converts a comma-separated-value data stream to Fsdb format.
13
14       The input is CSV-format (not fsdb).  The first row is taken to be the
15       names of the columns.
16
17       The output is two-space-separated fsdb.  (Someday more general field
18       separators should be supported.)  Fsdb fields are normalized version of
19       the CSV file: spaces are converted to single underscores.
20

OPTIONS

22       -F or --fs or --fieldseparator S
23           Specify the field (column) separator as "S".  See dbfilealter for
24           valid field separators.  Default is S (double space).
25
26       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
27
28       -d  Enable debugging output.
29
30       -i or --input InputSource
31           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
32           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
33           objects.
34
35       -o or --output OutputDestination
36           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
37           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
38           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
39
40       --autorun or --noautorun
41           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
42           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
43           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
44
45       --help
46           Show help.
47
48       --man
49           Show full manual.
