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

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.
