DESCRIPTION

9       Prints  descriptive  statistics  for  all  columns  in a CSV file. Will
10       intelligently determine the type of each column and then print analysis
11       relevant  to that type (ranges for dates, mean and median for integers,
12       etc.):

25            FILE                  The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept

30            --csv                 Output results as a CSV, rather than text.
31            -n, --names           Display column names and indices from the input CSV
32                                  and exit.
33            -c COLUMNS, --columns COLUMNS

47            --freq                Only output lists of frequent values.
48            --freq-count FREQ_COUNT
49                                  The maximum number of frequent values to display.
50            --count               Only output total row count.
51            -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT
52                                  Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of
53                                  bytes. Specify "0" to disable sniffing entirely.

59
60          csvstat examples/realdata/FY09_EDU_Recipients_by_State.csv
61
62       When an statistic name is passed, only that stat will be printed:
63
64          csvstat --min examples/realdata/FY09_EDU_Recipients_by_State.csv
65
66              1. State Name: None
67              2. State Abbreviate: None

75             10. j: None
76
77       If a single stat and a single column are requested, only a  value  will
78       be returned:
79
80          csvstat -c 4 --mean examples/realdata/FY09_EDU_Recipients_by_State.csv
