dbfilestripcomments - remove comments from a fsdb file

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

SYNOPSIS

dbfilestripcomments [-h]

DESCRIPTION

Remove any comments in a file, including the header. This makes the file unreadable by other Fsdb utilities, but perhaps more readable by humans.

With the -h option, leave the header.

OPTIONS

-h or –header

Retain the header.

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.
