Fields

======

Fields is a fast C library for reading CSV and other tabular text formats.

Usage

-----

Fields reads input consisting of zero or more records, each record consisting

of zero or more fields. Records are separated by record separators and fields

by field delimiters.

Fields handles input internally as UTF-8. The record separator may be either

a carriage return (CR, Mac OS), a line feed (LF, Unix) or a CRLF (Windows).

The field delimiter may be any ASCII character except CR or LF.

A field may begin and end with a quote character. A quoted field may contain

embedded record separators, field delimiters and quote characters. Each quote

character within a quoted field must be escaped with another quote character.

The quote character may be any ASCII character except the field delimiter, CR

or LF. If the quote character is set to the null character (NUL), quoting is

disabled.
