+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+uncsv: uncsv (convert to or from CSV streams)
+uncsv:
+uncsv: uncsv is a filter command converting the lines of a CSV file into
+uncsv: non-escaped, non-quoted delimited file (pipe by default). This program
+uncsv: will error out if it encounters a character matching the delimiter, it
+uncsv: will also replace the carriage return and new-line characters found in
+uncsv: quoted values allowing you to use awk to play with your CSVs.
+uncsv:
+uncsv: csv is the opposite of this command. It takes an unquoted stream of
+uncsv: values, separated by the delimiter of your choice (default: pipe '|')
+uncsv: and produces a "standard" CSV file.
