dbfadd - add a row to an xBase DBF file

       ##SYNOPSIS dbfaddxbase_filefield_values...

       ##DESCRIPTION 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.

       ##OPTIONS

       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.

       ##EXAMPLE dbfaddtestbase.dbfREGION125.656150.22

       Assuming that testbase.dbf has 3 fields (NAME, AREA and VALUE), this  command  line  will  insert  a  new
       record  into  testbase.dbf  with  the  value "REGION1" for NAME, '25.656' for AREA and '150.22' for VALUE
       field.

       ##EXIT STATUS

       0      Successful program execution.

       1      Missing xbase_file or field_values arguments.

       2      Failed to open xbase_file for reading and appending.

       3      Too few values in field_values...

       ##DIAGNOSTICS The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout:

       DBFOpen(xbase_file,"rb+") failed.

       Got count1 fields, but require count2

       ##BUGS 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.
