NAME

6       dbcolcreate - create new columns
7

SYNOPSIS

9           dbcolcreate NewColumn1 [NewColumn2]
10
11       or
12
13           dbcolcreate -e DefaultValue NewColumnWithDefault
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Create columns "NewColumn1", etc.  with an optional "DefaultValue".
17

OPTIONS

19       -e EmptyValue or --empty
20           Specify the value newly created columns get.
21
22       -f or --first
23           Put all new columns as the first columns of each row.  By default,
24           they go at the end of each row.
25
26       --no-recreate-fatal
27           By default, creating an existing column is an error.  With
28           --no-recreate-fatal, we ignore re-creation.
29
30       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
31
32       -d  Enable debugging output.
33
34       -i or --input InputSource
35           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
36           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
37           objects.
38
39       -o or --output OutputDestination
40           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
41           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
42           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
43
44       --autorun or --noautorun
45           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
46           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
47           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
48
49       --header H
50           Use H as the full Fsdb header, rather than reading a header from
51           then input.
52
53       --help
54           Show help.
55
56       --man
57           Show full manual.
