dbfadd - add a row to an xBase DBF file
dbfadd xbase_file field_values...
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.
- 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.

dbfcreate is part of shapelib, maintained by Frank Warmerdam. This guide
was created by Eduardo Patoo Kanegae and converted to manpage by Johan Van de

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.
