=head1 NAME
dbfilecat - concatenate two files with identical schema
=head1 SYNOPSIS
dbfilecat --input A.fsdb [--input B.fsdb...]
or
echo A.fsdb | dbfilecat --xargs
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Concatenate all provided input files,
producing one result.
We remove extra header lines.
Inputs can both be specified with C<--input>, or one can come
from standard input and the other from C<--input>.
With C<--xargs>, each line of standard input is a filename for input.
Inputs must have identical schemas (columns, column order,
and field separators).
Like L<dbmerge>, but no worries about sorting,
and with no arguments we read standard input
(although that's not very useful).
=head1 OPTIONS
General option:
=over 4
=item B<--xargs>
Expect that input filenames are given, one-per-line, on standard input.
(In this case, merging can start incrementally.
=item B<--removeinputs>
Delete the source files after they have been consumed.
(Defaults off, leaving the inputs in place.)
=for comment
begin_standard_fsdb_options
This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
=item B<-d>
Enable debugging output.
=item B<-i> or B<--input> InputSource
Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard input,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
=item B<-o> or B<--output> OutputDestination
Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard output,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
=item B<--autorun> or B<--noautorun>
By default, programs process automatically,
but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke
the run() method.
The C<--(no)autorun> option controls that behavior within Perl.
=item B<--help>
Show help.
=item B<--man>
Show full manual.
