NAME

       clevercsv-view - View the CSV file on the command line using TabView

SYNOPSIS

       clevercsv view [-e ENCODING | --encoding=ENCODING]
                      [-n NUM_CHARS | --num-chars=NUM_CHARS] [-t | --transpose] <path>

DESCRIPTION

       The view command is useful to quickly inspect a messy CSV file on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
           show this help message and exit

       -e, --encoding
           The file encoding of the given CSV file is automatically detected using chardet. While
           chardet is incredibly accurate, it is not perfect. In the rare cases that it makes a
           mistake in detecting the file encoding, you can override the encoding by providing it
           through this flag. Moreover, when you have a number of CSV files with a known file
           encoding, you can use this option to speed up the code generation process.

       -n, --num-chars
           On large CSV files, dialect detection can sometimes be a bit slow due to the large
           number of possible dialects to consider. To alleviate this, you can limit the number
           of characters to use for detection.

           One aspect to keep in mind is that CleverCSV may need to read a specific number of
           characters to be able to correctly infer the dialect. For example, in the ``imdb.csv``
           file in the GitHub repository, the correct dialect can only be found after at least 66
           lines of the file are read. Therefore, if there is availability to run CleverCSV on
           the entire file, that is generally recommended.

       -t, --transpose
           Transpose the columns of the input file before viewing

       <path>
           Path to the CSV file
