processes csv files or stdin and outputs in different tabular formats
optionally does line filtering/limiting or selecting of columns

Options:
     -h, --help               display this help and exit
     -v, --version            display version/license and exit
     -l, --listHeader         print the file header and exit
         --exitCodes          print a list of all exit codes

         --config [file]      config file with list of arguments
                              file is searched in current directory
                              then in $HOME/.config/csvcut
                              pauses argument processing an applies config
                              then continues to apply command line arguments
  input:
     -s, --separator sep        use sep as input field separator
         sep can be one of:
            tab (\t)
            comma (,) {Default}
            semicolon (;)
            pipe (|)

     -q, --quote no             no quouting {default for performance}
     -q, --quote single         use single quouttes (')
     -q, --quote double         use double quoutes (")

     -h, --header               use given heder (field1,field2,...)
     -n, --noHeader             file has no header
         --skipLines list       skip lines numbers in list

         --inputLimit  lim      limit the input processing to lim lines
         --lengths [1,2,3]      comma separated list of field lengths
                                processes input as fixed filed (record) length

         --extraLF              with --lengths to read an extra end of line
         --extraCRLF            with --lengths to read 2 extra EOL characters

  output:
     -o, --output [file]          write output to file [file]
     -S, --outputSeparator [sep]  use [sep] as input field separator
                                  sep can be one of:
                                    tab (\t)

                                    pipe (|)

     -Q, --quoteOutput no         no quouting {default for performance}
     -Q, --quoteOutput single     use single quouttes (')
     -Q, --quoteOutput double     use double quoutes (")

     -N, --outputNoHeader         don't write header to output
         
         --outputLimit lim        limit the the number of lines outputted to lim

  processing:
     -I, --include [1,2,3]     comma separated list of field names/indices 
                               use backshlash to escape numeric field names
                               can be used multiple times
                               numeric ranges can be used e.g. 3-6
                               cannot be used with --exclude

     -E, --exclude [1,2,3]     comma separated list of field names/indices 
                               same rules as --include
                               but removes given columns from output

         --filter [filter,..]  list of filters that are applied
                               argument field1=value1,field2=value2,....
                               can be used multiple times, if any filter matches
                               the line will be output

         --trim                removes space & tab characters from start & end
         --unique              only output unique lines
                               check is applied after other processings

         --count               like --unique but adds a count column
