csvformat: Convert to a tab-delimited file (TSV).
$ csvformat -T ${data-csv}
try on your machine

The command csvformat -T ${data-csv} is used to format a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. Let's break it down:

  1. csvformat: It is the name of the command-line tool or utility used for working with CSV files.
  2. -T: -T is an argument or option provided to the csvformat command. In this case, -T is used to specify the output format. The option -T is often used to format CSV data as tab-separated values.
  3. ${data-csv}: It is a placeholder or variable that represents the path or name of the input CSV file. The actual value is expected to be provided when executing the command.

So, when executing the command and replacing ${data-csv} with the appropriate value, the command will read the specified CSV file and format its content as tab-separated values (TSV) for the output.
