Fsdb::Filter::dbcolrename(3)

NAME
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.
