It handles several +formats of files including CSV, fields with fixed delimiters, fields separated +by arbitrary whitespace, regex matching, formatting of tables and so on. + +See the man page for full description. + +The program has been tested on Linux, but it should run on an arbitrary POSIX +system with a C99 compiler. (It is possible that some GNUisms remain in the code, +but they should be easy to fix if needed.) Building of documentation requires +AsciiDoc (any reasonably recent version should work). -- 2.39.2
