Fsdb::F...m_to_db(3)

🎀 tabdelim_to_db — Fsdb::F...m_to_db(3) 🎀

okay so this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page for the manual name Fsdb::F...m_to_db(3) — yes bestie, that exact dramatic little name 💅

✨ NAME ✨

tabdelim_to_db — convert tab-delimited data into fsdb 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

    tabdelim_to_db <source.tabdelim >target.fsdb

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this tiny icon converts a tab-delimited data stream to Fsdb format, no cap ✨

The input is tab-delimited (not fsdb): the first row is taken to be the names of the columns; tabs separate columns.

The output is a fsdb file with a proper header and a tab field-separator.

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

• -d — Enable debugging output.
• -i, --input InputSource — Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
• -o, --output OutputDestination — Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
• --autorun, --noautorun — By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
• --help — Show help.
• --man — Show full manual.
