dbcolrename – change the names of columns in a fsdb schema

Synopsis

dbcolrename OldName1 NewName1 [OldName2 NewName2] …

Description

Dbcolrename changes the names of columns in a fsdb schema, mapping OldName1 to NewName1, and so on for multiple pairs of column names.

Note that it is valid to do “overlapping” renames like "dbcolrename a b b a".

Options

No non-standard options.

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

-d: Enable debugging output.
-i or –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 or –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 or –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.

Sample Usage

 #fsdb account passwd uid gid fullname homedir shell

 johnh * 2274 134 John_Heidemann /home/johnh /bin/bash
