NAME

       dbfadd - add a row to an xBase DBF file

       ##SYNOPSIS dbfadd xbase_file field_values...

       ##DESCRIPTION  Adds  a row to the DBF file named by xbase_file with column values given by
       the field_values options that follow. A NULL value is denoted by an empty argument.

       ##OPTIONS

       xbase_file
              the name of an existing xBase file

       field_values
              list of values to be inserted into the xBase file. You must  specify  a  number  of
              values  equal  to the number of fields the xBase file has. The order of values must
              also reflect the order of fields inside xBase file.

       ##EXAMPLE dbfadd testbase.dbf REGION1 25.656 150.22

       Assuming that testbase.dbf has 3 fields (NAME, AREA and VALUE),  this  command  line  will
       insert a new record into testbase.dbf with the value "REGION1" for NAME, '25.656' for AREA
       and '150.22' for VALUE field.

       ##EXIT STATUS

       0      Successful program execution.

       1      Missing xbase_file or field_values arguments.

       2      Failed to open xbase_file for reading and appending.

       3      Too few values in field_values...

       ##DIAGNOSTICS The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout:

       DBFOpen(xbase_file,"rb+") failed.

       Got count1 fields, but require count2

       created  by  Eduardo  Patoo  Kanegae and converted to manpage by Johan Van de Wauw. It was
       further enhanced with the man page written by Joonas Pihlaja (jpihlaja@cc.helsinki.fi).

       ##BUGS Field values that are too large to fit in a field are silently truncated  from  the
       right. Numeric field values that can't be parsed by atof(3) get undefined values.
