Filtering options
- --and
-
Shortcut for --query-boolean=and.
See
--query-boolean
. - --or
-
Shortcut for --query-boolean=or.
See
--query-boolean
. - --queries-json=s, -q
-
Search (JSON-encoded).
See
--query
.Can also be specified as the 1st command-line argument and onwards.
- --query-boolean=s
-
Whether records must match all search queries ('and') or just one ('or').
Default value:
"and"
Valid values:
["and","or"]
If set to
and
, all queries must match; if set toor
, only one query should match. See thequeries
option for more details on searching. - --query=s@
-
Search.
This will search all searchable fields with one or more specified queries. Each query can be in the form of
-FOO
(dash prefix notation) to require that the fields do not contain specified string, or/FOO/
to use regular expression. All queries must match if thequery_boolean
option is set toand
; only one query should match if thequery_boolean
option is set toor
.Can also be specified as the 1st command-line argument and onwards.
Can be specified multiple times.
Ordering options
- --random
-
Return records in random order.
- --sort-json=s
-
Order records according to certain field(s) (JSON-encoded).
See
--sort
. - --sort=s@
-
Order records according to certain field(s).
A list of field names separated by comma. Each field can be prefixed with '-' to specify descending order instead of the default ascending.
Can be specified multiple times.
Output options
- --format=s
-
Choose output format, e.g. json, text.
Default value:
undef
Output can be displayed in multiple formats, and a suitable default format is chosen depending on the application and/or whether output destination is interactive terminal (i.e. whether output is piped). This option specifically chooses an output format.
- --json
-
Set output format to json.
- --naked-res
-
When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.
Default value:
0
By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:
[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]
The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use
--naked-res
so you just get:[1,2,3]
- --page-result
-
Filter output through a pager.
This option will pipe the output to a specified pager program. If pager program is not specified, a suitable default e.g.
less
is chosen. - --view-result
-
View output using a viewer.
This option will first save the output to a temporary file, then open a viewer program to view the temporary file. If a viewer program is not chosen, a suitable default, e.g. the browser, is chosen.
Paging options
- --result-limit=s
-
Only return a certain number of records.
- --result-start=s
-
Only return starting from the n'th record.
Default value:
1
Other options
COMPLETION
This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.
bash
To activate bash completion for this script, put:
complete -C list-csvutils list-csvutils
in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.
tcsh
To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:
complete list-csvutils 'p/*/`list-csvutils`/'
in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).
other shells
For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
