Fields return the fields of the table as a slice

New creates a new dbase table from scratch for the given character encoding

SetFieldValueByName sets the value for the given row and field name as specified If the field name does not exist, or the value is incompatible with t

NewFromFile creates a DbfTable, reading it from a file with the given file name, expecting the supplied encoding.

NumberOfRecords returns the number of records in the table

FieldValueByName returns the value of a field given row number and name provided

AddNewRecord adds a new empty record to the table, and returns the index number of the record.

NewFromByteArray creates a DbfTable, reading it from a raw byte array, expecting the supplied encoding.

GetRowAsSlice return the record values for the row specified as a string slice

DecimalPlacesInField returns the number of decimal places for the field with the given name. If the field does not exist, or does not use decimal plac

FieldNames return the names of fields in the table as a slice

SaveToFile saves the supplied DbfTable to a file of the specified filename

decimalCountNotApplicable is a convenience decorator supplying a 0-valued byte. THis is used indicate that the data type describes a field that does n

FieldType returns the type of data stored for the field as a DbaseDataType

FieldValue returns the content for the record at the given row and field index as a string If the row or field index is invalid, an error is returned

HasField returns true if the table has a field with the given name If the field does not exist an error is returned.

LastUpdated interprets the byte trio in dateOfLastUpdate, returning as close a time.Time value as possible. As no hours, minutes, seconds, etc. are s

fixedFieldLength returns the length in bytes in for the data type if it describes a fixed-length field.

DecimalPlaces returns the count of decimal places for the field

Float64FieldValueByName returns the value of a field given row number and name provided as a float64

Int64FieldValueByName returns the value of a field given row number and name provided as an int64

Length returns the length of data stored for the field

LowDefTime takes a time.Time and returns a low-definition time.Time equivalent that follows the same simplification approach as LastUpdated().

Name returns the column name of the field

RefreshLastUpdated refreshes the dateOfLastUpdate to the YYMMDD byte encoding of today, assuming the local timezone. SetLastUpdated() is used by this

SetFieldValue sets the value for the given row and field index as specified If the field index is invalid, or the value is incompatible with the field

SetLastUpdated sets the dateOfLastUpdate to the YYMMDD byte encoding of the time.Time specified. See dateOfLastUpdate for the various limitations pres

SetLastUpdatedFromBytes sets the dateOfLastUpdate to the YYMMDD byte encoding of the time specified. The 0-index is assigned to updateYear, the 1-inde

SetLengthOfEachRecordFromBytes sets lengthOfEachRecord from a byte array.

SetNumberOfBytesInHeaderFromBytes sets numberOfBytesInHeader from a byte array.

SetNumberOfRecordsFromBytes sets numberOfRecords from a byte array.

* getByteSlice converts value to byte slice according to given encoding and return a slice that is fixedFieldLength equals to numberOfBytes or les

Some Dbf encoders pad with null chars instead of blanks, this forces blanks as per https://www.dbase.com/Knowledgebase/INT/db7_file_fmt.htm

usesDecimalCount indicates whether the data type describes a field that makes use of a field's decimal count setting.

HasRecord returns true if the table has a record with the given number otherwise, false is returned. Use this method before FieldValue() to avoid inde

RowIsDeleted returns whether a row has marked as deleted

Deprecated: Use SaveToFile() instead.
