dbrowenumerate - Man Page

enumerate rows, starting from zero

Synopsis

dbrowenumerate

Description

Add a new column “count”, incremented for each row of data, starting with zero. Use dbrowaccumulate for control over initial value or increment; this module is just a wrapper around that.

Options

-N or --new-name N: Name the new column N. Defaults to count.

This module also supports the standard jdb 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.
