NAME

6       dbrow - select rows from an Fsdb file based on arbitrary conditions
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dbrow [-vw] CONDITION [CONDITION...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Select rows for which all CONDITIONS are true.  Conditions are
13       specified as Perl code, in which column names are be embedded, preceded
14       by underscores.
15

OPTIONS

17       -v  Invert the selection, picking rows where at least one condition
18           does not match.
19
20       This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
21
22       -d  Enable debugging output.
23
24       -w or --warnings
25           Enable warnings in user supplied code.
26
27       -i or --input InputSource
28           Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
29           input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
30           objects.
31
32       -o or --output OutputDestination
33           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
34           standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
35           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
36
37       --autorun or --noautorun
38           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
39           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
40           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
41
42       --header H
43           Use H as the full Fsdb header, rather than reading a header from
44           then input.
45
46       --help
47           Show help.
48
49       --man
50           Show full manual.
