       -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,

              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

       --mean Only output means.

       --median
              Only output medians.

       --stdev
              Only output standard deviations.

       --len  Only output the length of the longest values.

       --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.

       -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT
