DESCRIPTION

9       Prints  descriptive  statistics for all columns in a CSV file. Will in‐
10       telligently 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.):

31            -n, --names           Display column names and indices from the input CSV
32                                  and exit.

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

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
