Keyword format

In keyword format, every input line contains only two parts: the attribute and the value for that attribute, separated by the delimiter character. The default delimiter character is a comma (,).

The istructure command is not used with this format, as each line contains both data and its description. For example:

tag, SINUSOID
pointsource, R
pointtype, FLOAT32

To select output attributes in keyword format, use the ostructure command. Specify a single attribute on each line:

@ostructure tag
@ostructure pointsource
@ostructure pointtype

To output all attributes for the current table, type:

@ostructure *

This works in both keyword and delimited formats.

Note: The @ostructure command is meaningful only in list mode. A warning is issued if this command is executed in create, edit or delete mode.
