NAME

6       db_to_csv - convert fsdb to the comma-separated-value file-format
7

SYNOPSIS

9           db_to_csv [-C]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Covert an existing fsdb file to comma-separated value format.
13
14       Input is fsdb format.
15
16       Output is CSV-format plain text (not fsdb).
17

OPTIONS

19       -C or <--omit-comments>
20           Also strip all comments.
21
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.
