📦 version 4.2.6, in fedora 44

💖 xb_pack(1) — the pack-it-up-and-slay edition 💖

okay bestie, listen. this is xb_pack, a whole entire command from the General Commands Manual, and she does one (1) job and she does it beautifully: she takes a version 3 or version 4 DBF data file, yeets every record that's been flagged for deletion, and then rebuilds the indices. clean girl energy. no cap. 🧹✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

xb_dumprecs removes records flagged for deletion from a .DBF file to stdout and rebuilds associated indices. that's the whole vibe, she's not complicated, she's just effective. 😌

🌈 OVERVIEW 🌈

so like, the Xbase64 library is out here providing various utility programs and a set of C++ classes for application programming — for reading, writing and updating DBF database files, NDX and MDX index files and DBT memo files. it's giving full-service. 👑

Version 4.x.x has been tested for compatability with dBASE III (TM), dBASE IV (TM) and dBASE 5 (TM) version data files and indices: *.DBF (data), *.NDX (single tag index), *.MDX (multi tag index) and *.DBT (memo). bestie, she speaks all the dialects fr fr. 🗣️

In RDBMS parlance, each *.DBF file would be a table. iykyk. 📊
