              SNIFF_LIMIT] [-I] [FILE ...]

       Execute a SQL-like join to merge CSV files on a specified column or columns.

   positional arguments:
       FILE   The CSV files to operate on. If only one is specified, it will be copied to STDOUT.

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER
              Delimiting character of the input CSV file.

       -t, --tabs
              Specify that the input CSV file is delimited with tabs. Overrides "-d".

       -q QUOTECHAR, --quotechar QUOTECHAR
              Character used to quote strings in the input CSV file.

       -u {0,1,2,3}, --quoting {0,1,2,3}
              Quoting style used in the input CSV file. 0 = Quote Minimal, 1 =  Quote  All,  2  =
              Quote Non-numeric, 3 = Quote None.

       -b, --no-doublequote
              Whether or not double quotes are doubled in the input CSV file.

       -p ESCAPECHAR, --escapechar ESCAPECHAR
              Character  used  to escape the delimiter if --quoting 3 ("Quote None") is specified
              and to escape the QUOTECHAR if --no-doublequote is specified.

       -z FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT, --maxfieldsize FIELD_SIZE_LIMIT
              Maximum length of a single field in the input CSV file.

       -e ENCODING, --encoding ENCODING
              Specify the encoding of the input CSV file.

       -L LOCALE, --locale LOCALE
              Specify the locale (en_US) of any formatted numbers.

       -S, --skipinitialspace
              Ignore whitespace immediately following the delimiter.

       --blanks
              Do not convert "", "na", "n/a", "none", "null", "." to NULL.

       --date-format DATE_FORMAT
              Specify a strptime date format string like "%m/%d/%Y".

       --datetime-format DATETIME_FORMAT
              Specify a strptime datetime format string like "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p".

       -H, --no-header-row
              Specify that the input CSV file has no header row.   Will  create  default  headers
              (a,b,c,...).

       -K SKIP_LINES, --skip-lines SKIP_LINES
              Specify  the  number of initial lines to skip before the header row (e.g. comments,
              copyright notices, empty rows).

       -v, --verbose
              Print detailed tracebacks when errors occur.

       -l, --linenumbers
              Insert a column of line numbers at the front of the output. Useful when  piping  to
              grep or as a simple primary key.

       --zero When interpreting or displaying column numbers, use zero-based numbering instead of
              the default 1-based numbering.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.

       -c COLUMNS, --columns COLUMNS
              The column name(s) on which to join. Should be either one  name  (or  index)  or  a
              comma-separated  list with one name (or index) per file, in the same order in which
              the files  were  specified.  If  not  specified,  the  two  files  will  be  joined
              sequentially without matching.

       --outer
              Perform a full outer join, rather than the default inner join.

       --left Perform  a  left  outer  join, rather than the default inner join. If more than two
              files are provided this will be  executed  as  a  sequence  of  left  outer  joins,
              starting at the left.

       --right
              Perform  a  right  outer join, rather than the default inner join. If more than two
              files are provided this will be executed  as  a  sequence  of  right  outer  joins,
              starting at the right.

       -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT
              Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of bytes. Specify "0" to disable
              sniffing.

       -I, --no-inference
              Disable type inference when parsing CSV input.

       Note that the join operation requires reading all files into memory.  Don't  try  this  on
       very large files.
