                      NoSQL operator: tabletocsv

Converts a NoSQL table into CSV (comma-separated values) format.

Usage: tabletocsv [options]

Options:
    --input (-i) 'file'
      Read input from 'file' instead of STDIN.

    --output (-o) 'file'
      Write output to 'file' instead of STDOUT.

    --help (-h)
      Display this help text.

    --no-header (-N)
      Remove header from output.

    --no-cr (-n)
      Use only LF as output record separator. The default
      behaviour is to use a CR+LF sequence.

    --no-break (-B)
      Remove embedded newlines from output fields, for those
      programs that get confused by their presence.

Notes:

Converts a NoSQL table into CSV (comma-separated values) format,
suitable for importing into many popular third-party applications.
Double-quotes in the input data are escaped by doubling them.
