## Usage

agate-dbf uses a monkey patching pattern to add read for dbf files support to all `agate.Table` instances.

    import agate
    import agatedbf

Importing agate-dbf adds new methods to `agate.Table`.

    table = agate.Table.from_dbf('examples/test.dbf')

    print(table)

# API

agatedbf.table.from_dbf(cls, path, encoding=None)

  Parse a DBF file.

  Parameters

    path – Path to an DBF file to load. Note that due to limitations of the dependency you can not pass a file handle. It must be a path.
