postgis - shp2pgsql: how to know the schema.table?

I want to import a shapefile using shp2pgsql. I am using Mac with Postgis 2.2.

Based on this reference: A conversion and upload can be done all in one step using a UNIX pipe:

  shp2pgsql -s  -c -D -I   | \
  psql -d  -h  -U 

An example provided in the postgis manual is:

# shp2pgsql shaperoads myschema.roadstable | psql -d roadsdb

Not sure how to find "schema.table". I am working on a shapefile folder which has:

l_2015_us_county yan$ ls
tl_2015_us_county.cpg           tl_2015_us_county.prj           tl_2015_us_county.shp.ea.iso.xml    tl_2015_us_county.shp.xml
tl_2015_us_county.dbf           tl_2015_us_county.shp           tl_2015_us_county.shp.iso.xml       tl_2015_us_county.shx

What is the schema and table in this shapefile?

Answer

The schema and table are part of the destination, not the input shapefile. The default schema is public, so try something like public.awesometable.
