Hi,
I'm planning to add a new mapserver utility. The spec I propose is below.
Any comments before I start coding?
shpmodify layer=layer_name
[record_number=number]
valid_field=valid_field_name
[coord=(x,y) [,(x,y)...]
[field_name=field_value field_name=field_value...]
layer_name : Name of layer to be added to. If no layer is supplied
then an error will be returned.
number : Number of the record to be modified. If record_number is
not supplied then a new record will be added.
valid_field_name : If a record is to be modified, and the new record has
more coordinate points than the previous record, and
hence cannot fit into the record space then a new record
will need to be created and added to the end of the
database. The old record will become invalid.
valid_field_name is the name of a boolean field which
will be set invalid (FALSE) if the old record becomes
invalid.
