dbcolneaten - pretty-print columns of Fsdb data (assuming a monospaced
======================================================================


*NOTE: this page was directly converted from the perl FSDB manual pages from FSDB version 3.1*

SYNOPSIS
--------

dbcolneaten [-E] [field_settings]

DESCRIPTION
-----------

dbcolneaten arranges that the Fsdb data appears in neat columns if you
view it with a monospaced font. To do this, it pads out each field with
spaces to line up the next field.

Field settings are of the form

field op value

OP is >=, =, or <= specifying that the width of that FIELD must be more,
equal, or less than that VALUE

dbcolneaten runs in O(1) memory but disk space proportional to the size
of data.

OPTIONS
-------

-E or --noeoln
   Omit padding for the last column (at the end-of-the-line). (Default
   behavior.)

-e or --eoln
   Do padding and include an extra field separator after the last
   column. (Useful if you're interactively adding a column.)

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
