* `-f=<FILE>` or `-f <FILE>` - convert specified `FILE`
* `-t` - convert input as tsv
Available `FILE` formats:
* csv (default);
* tsv (with `-t` argument).
Path to `FILE` may be presented as:
* absolute path;
* path relative to current working directory;
* path relative to user home directory (~).
Also if `PATH` contains whitespaces then you should double-quote it.
To save result as separate file you can use piping.
-help|--help - show this help
-f=<FILE> - convert specified FILE
-h=<HEADER> - add main header (h1) to result
-t - convert input as tsv
-a - align columns width
FILE formats supported:
- csv (default)
- tsv (with -t flag)
Path to FILE may be presented as:
- absolute
- relative to current working directory
- relative to user home directory (~)
Both HEADER and FILE path with whitespaces must be double-quoted.
To save result as separate file you should use redirection operators (> or >>).
