PROGRAM:
NAME
dbfdump - dumps the content of a xBase file to the terminal
SYNOPSIS
dbfdump [-h] [-r] [-m] xbase_file
DESCRIPTION
Dumps the contents of xbase_file to standard output. The first line contains the field
names appearing in xbase_file, and each of the following lines contains the field values
of a record. Field names and values are padded by spaces to their field widths. Empty
fields are printed as the string "(NULL)".
OPTIONS
-h output header info (field descriptions).
Prints the column field definitions before other output. Each field definition
consists of a line of the form
Field: index, Type=type, Title=`name´, Width=width, Decimals=precision
where index is the zero offset column number of the field; the type indicates the
datatype of the field value and is either "Integer", "Real" or "String"; name is
the field´s name; width is the number of bytes reserved for the field´s value; and
precision is the number of decimal places of precision for "Real" type fields, and
is zero for "Integer" and "String" type fields.
-r output raw field info, numeric values not reformatted.
Prints the exact bytes occurring in xbase_file for field values and suppresses
printing "(NULL)" for empty values.
-m output one line per field.
Prints each record in multiline format separated by empty lines. The first line of
a record gives the number of the record in the form
Records: record_index
where record_index is the zero offset number of the record in the file, and then
each field of the record appears on its own line in the format
name: value
xbase_file
the name of an existing xBase file.
EXAMPLE
dbfdump -h testbase.dbf
assuming that testbase.dbf has 1 record (inserted by other example using dbfadd), this
command line will produce the following output:
Field 0: Type=String, Title=´NAME´, Width=20, Decimals=0
Field 1: Type=Double, Title=´AREA´, Width=9, Decimals=3
Field 2: Type=Double, Title=´VALUE´, Width=9, Decimals=2
NAME AREA VALUE REGION1 25.656 150.22
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful program execution.
1 Missing xbase_file argument.
2 Failed to open xbase_file.
3 There are no fields in xbase_file.
DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout:
DBFOpen(xbase_file,"r") failed.
There are no fields in this table!
