Usage of csv:

    	(Writer) If CRLF (crlf) is true, then use \r\n as the line terminator.
  -debug
    	(Writer) Debug field parsed by the CSV reader. Dumps to standard error (2).
  -f string
    	(Reader) Read the file to be be parsed.
  -fps
    	(Reader) If FieldsPerRecord (fps) is true, no check is made and records may have a variable number of fields.
  -fs string
    	(Reader) Specify index of required columns (separated by comma(s), 1 indexing). If empty, print all fields.
  -lq
    	(Reader) If LazyQuotes (lq) is true, a quote may appear in an unquoted field and a non-doubled quote may appear in a quoted field.
  -rd string
    	(Reader) Specify reader delimiter (single unicode character). (default ",")
  -tls
    	(Reader) If TrimLeadingSpace (tls) is true, leading white space in a field is ignored. This is done even if the field delimiter, Comma, is white space.
  -v	(Writer) Just validates the csv file and logs errors (if any).
  -wd string
    	(Writer) Specify writer delimiter (single unicode character). (default " ")

Example
