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.
