       -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.

       -H, --no-header-row
              Specify  that  the  input  CSV file has no header row.  Will create default headers

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

       -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.

       -g GROUPS, --groups GROUPS
              A  comma-separated  list  of values to add as "grouping factors", one per CSV being

              the new column using the -n flag.

       -n GROUP_NAME, --group-name GROUP_NAME
              A name for the grouping column, e.g. "year". Only used when also specifying -g.

       --filenames
              Use  the filename of each input file as its grouping value. When specified, -g will
              be ignored.
