NAME

6       dbfilevalidate - insure the source input is a well-formed Fsdb file
7

SYNOPSIS

9           dbfilevalidate [-vc]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Validates the input file to make sure it is a well-formed fsdb file.
13       If the file is well-formed, it outputs the whole file and exits with a
14       good exit code.  For invalid files, it exits with an error exit code
15       and embedded error messages in the stream as comments with "***" in
16       them.
17
18       Currently this program checks for rows with missing or extra columns.
19

OPTIONS

21       -v or --errors-only
22           Output only broken lines, not the whole thing.
23
24       -c or --correct
25           Correct errors, if possible.  Pad out rows with the empty value;
26           truncate rows with extra values.  If errors can be corrected the
27           program exits with a good return code.
28
29       "-e E" or "--empty E"
30           give value E as the value for empty (null) records
31
32       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
33
34       -d  Enable debugging output.
35
36       -i or --input InputSource
37           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
38           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
39           objects.
40
41       -o or --output OutputDestination
42           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
43           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
44           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
45
46       --autorun or --noautorun
47           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
48           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
49           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
50
51       --help
52           Show help.
53
54       --man
55           Show full manual.
