=head1 NAME

dbrowcount - count the number of rows in an Fsdb stream

=head1 SYNOPSIS

dbrowcount

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Count the number of rows and write out a new fsdb file
with one column (n) and one value: the number of rows.
This program is a strict subset of L<dbcolstats>.

Although there are other ways to get a count of rows
(C<dbcolstats>, or C<dbrowaccumulate -C 1> and some processing),
counting is so common it warrants its own command.
(For example, consider how often C<wc -l> is used in regular shell
scripting.)
There are some gross and subtle differences, though, in that
C<dbrowcount> doesn't require one to specify a column to search,
and it also doesn't look for and skip null data items.

=head1 OPTIONS

No program-specific options.

=for comment
begin_standard_fsdb_options

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

=over 4

=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.

=head1 SAMPLE USAGE

=head2 Input:

    #fsdb      absdiff

    #  | /home/johnh/BIN/DB/dbcol event clock
    #  | dbrowdiff clock
    #  | /home/johnh/BIN/DB/dbcol absdiff

=head2 Command:

    cat data.fsdb | dbrowcount

=head2 Output:

    #fsdb n
    6
    #  | /home/johnh/BIN/DB/dbrow 
    #  | /home/johnh/BIN/DB/dbcol event clock
    #  | dbrowdiff clock
    #  | /home/johnh/BIN/DB/dbcol absdiff

=head2 Input 2:

As another example, this input produces the same output as above in
C<dbrowcount>, but different output in C<dbstats>:

    #fsdb      absdiff
