dbrowdiff: compute row-by-row differences of some column

NAME

dbrowdiff - compute row-by-row differences of some column

SYNOPSIS

dbrowdiff [-B|-I] column

DESCRIPTION

For a given column, compute the differences between each row of the table. Differences are output to two new columns, "absdiff" and "pctdiff".

Differences are either relative to the previous column (incremental mode), or relative to the first row (baseline mode), the default.

OPTIONS

-B or --baseline

Select baseline mode (the default), where differences are relative to the first row.

-I or --incremental

Select incremental mode, where differences are relative to the previous row.

-f FORMAT or --format FORMAT

Specify a printf(3)-style format for output statistics. Defaults to "%.5g".

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.
