       Print descriptive statistics for each column in a CSV file.

   positional arguments:
       FILE   The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept input as piped data via STDIN.

   options:
       -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.

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

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

              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.

       --csv  Output results as a CSV, rather than text.

       --freq Only output lists of frequent values.

       --freq-count FREQ_COUNT
              The maximum number of frequent values to display.

       --count
              Only output total row count.

       --decimal-format DECIMAL_FORMAT
              %-format specification for printing decimal numbers.  Defaults  to  locale-specific
