rec-file-databases

Guides the GNU recutils toolset for plain-text databases stored in .rec files, covering the field-value record format, typed schemas with %rec descriptors and cross-record references, read-only querying with recsel, confirmed inserts, updates and deletions with recins, recset and recdel, integrity checking with recfix, templated reports with recfmt, and rec-CSV conversion. Every command that rewrites a file is gated on explicit user confirmation. Use when the user mentions recutils or any of its tools, works with .rec files or field-value records, or asks to build, query, query-validate, or convert a record-oriented text database. Not for SQL databases, JSON or YAML documents, or CSV tasks that never touch a .rec file.
