NAME

6       dbfilecat - concatenate two files with identical schema
7

SYNOPSIS

9           dbfilecat --input A.fsdb [--input B.fsdb...]
10
11       or
12
13           echo A.fsdb | dbfilecat --xargs
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Concatenate all provided input files, producing one result.  We remove
17       extra header lines.
18
19       Inputs can both be specified with "--input", or one can come from
20       standard input and the other from "--input".  With "--xargs", each line
21       of standard input is a filename for input.
22
23       Inputs must have identical schemas (columns, column order, and field
24       separators).
25
26       Like dbmerge, but no worries about sorting, and with no arguments we
27       read standard input (although that's not very useful).
28

OPTIONS

30       General option:
31
32       --xargs
33           Expect that input filenames are given, one-per-line, on standard
34           input.  (In this case, merging can start incrementally.
35
36       --removeinputs
37           Delete the source files after they have been consumed.  (Defaults
38           off, leaving the inputs in place.)
39
40           This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
41
42       -d  Enable debugging output.
43
44       -i or --input InputSource
45           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
46           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
47           objects.
48
49       -o or --output OutputDestination
50           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
51           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
52           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
53
54       --autorun or --noautorun
55           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
56           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
57           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
58
59       --help
60           Show help.
61
62       --man
63           Show full manual.

67       File a.fsdb:
68
69           #fsdb cid cname
70           11 numanal
71           10 pascal
