       Convert common, but less awesome, tabular data formats to CSV.

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

       -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  =

              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.

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