Prints flattened records such that fields are labeled separated by a new line.
This mode is particularly useful for viewing one record at a time.
There is also a condensed view (-c or --condense) that will shorten the
contents of each field to provide a summary view.
Pipe into "less -r" if you need to page the result, and use "-C, --force-colors"
not to lose the colors:
$ xan flatten -C file.csv | less -r
Usage:
xan flatten [options] [<input>]
xan f [options] [<input>]
flatten options:
-s, --select <arg> Select the columns to visualize. See 'xan select -h'
for the full syntax.
-c, --condense Don't wrap cell values on new lines but truncate them
with ellipsis instead.
-w, --wrap Wrap cell values all while minding the header's indent.
--cols <num> Width of the graph in terminal columns, i.e. characters.
Defaults to using all your terminal's width or 80 if
terminal's size cannot be found (i.e. when piping to file).
Can also be given as a ratio of the terminal's width e.g. "0.5".
-R, --rainbow Alternating colors for cells, rather than color by value type.
-C, --force-colors Force colors even if output is not supposed to be able to
handle them.
-S, --split <cols> Split columns containing multiple values separated by --sep
to be displayed as a list.
--sep <sep> Delimiter separating multiple values in cells splitted
by --plural. [default: |]
Common options:
-h, --help Display this message
-n, --no-headers When set, the first row will not be interpreted
as headers. When set, the name of each field
will be its index.
-d, --delimiter <arg> The field delimiter for reading CSV data.
Must be a single character.
