NAME

6       yaml_to_db - convert a subset of YAML into fsdb
7

SYNOPSIS

9           yaml_to_db <source.yaml
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Converts a very limited subset of YAML into Fsdb format.
13
14       The input is YAML-format (not fsdb).  The input is parsed as YAML,
15       assuming the file is an array of dictionary entries.  We extract the
16       dictionary names and output this as an fsdb table.
17
18       The output is tab-separated fsdb.  (Someday more general field
19       separators should be supported.)
20

OPTIONS

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