MILLER(1)

NAME

Miller -- like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV and tabular JSON.

SYNOPSIS

Usage: mlr [flags] {verb} [verb-dependent options ...] {zero or more file names} If zero file names are provided, standard input is read, e.g.
  mlr --csv sort -f shape example.csv Output of one verb may be chained as input to another using "then", e.g.
  mlr --csv stats1 -a min,mean,max -f quantity then sort -f color example.csv Please see 'mlr help topics' for more information. Please also see https://miller.readthedocs.io

DESCRIPTION

Miller operates on key-value-pair data while the familiar Unix tools operate on integer-indexed fields: if the natural data structure for the latter is the array, then Miller's natural data structure is the insertion-ordered hash map. This encompasses a variety of data formats, including but not limited to the familiar CSV, TSV, and JSON. (Miller can handle positionally-indexed data as a special case.) This manpage documents mlr 6.15.0.

EXAMPLES

    mlr --icsv --opprint cat example.csv
    mlr --icsv --opprint sort -f shape example.csv
    mlr --icsv --opprint sort -f shape -nr index example.csv
    mlr --icsv --opprint cut -f flag,shape example.csv
    mlr --csv filter '$color == "red"' example.csv
    mlr --icsv --ojson put '$ratio = $quantity / $rate' example.csv
    mlr --icsv --opprint --from example.csv sort -nr index then cut -f shape,quantity

COMMENTS-IN-DATA FLAGS

    Miller lets you put comments in your data, such as
        # This is a comment for a CSV file
        a,b,c
        1,2,3
        4,5,6
    Notes:
    * Comments are only honored at the start of a line.
    * In the absence of any of the below four options, comments are data like
      any other text. (The comments-in-data feature is opt-in.)
    * When `--pass-comments` is used, comment lines are written to standard output
      immediately upon being read; they are not part of the record stream.  Results
      may be counterintuitive. A suggestion is to place comments at the start of
      data files.
    --pass-comments          Immediately print commented lines (prefixed by `#`)
                             within the input.
    --pass-comments-with {string}
                             Immediately print commented lines within input, with
                             specified prefix.
    --skip-comments          Ignore commented lines (prefixed by `#`) within the
                             input.
    --skip-comments-with {string}
                             Ignore commented lines within input, with specified
                             prefix.

COMPRESSED-DATA FLAGS

    Miller offers a few different ways to handle reading data files
    	which have been compressed.
    * Decompression done within the Miller process itself: `--bz2in` `--gzin` `--zin``--zstdin`
    * Decompression done outside the Miller process: `--prepipe` `--prepipex`
    Using `--prepipe` and `--prepipex` you can specify an action to be
    taken on each input file.  The prepipe command must be able to read from
    standard input; it will be invoked with `{command} < {filename}`.  The
    prepipex command must take a filename as argument; it will be invoked with
    `{command} {filename}`.
    Examples:
        mlr --prepipe gunzip
        mlr --prepipe zcat -cf
        mlr --prepipe xz -cd
        mlr --prepipe cat
    Note that this feature is quite general and is not limited to decompression
    utilities. You can use it to apply per-file filters of your choice.  For output
    compression (or other) utilities, simply pipe the output:
    `mlr ... | {your compression command} > outputfilenamegoeshere`
    Lastly, note that if `--prepipe` or `--prepipex` is specified, it replaces any
    decisions that might have been made based on the file suffix. Likewise,
    `--gzin`/`--bz2in`/`--zin``--zin` are ignored if `--prepipe` is also specified.
    --bz2in                  Uncompress bzip2 within the Miller process. Done by
                             default if file ends in `.bz2`.
    --gzin                   Uncompress gzip within the Miller process. Done by
                             default if file ends in `.gz`.
    --prepipe {decompression command}
                             You can, of course, already do without this for
                             single input files, e.g. `gunzip < myfile.csv.gz |
                             mlr ...`. Allowed at the command line, but not in
                             `.mlrrc` to avoid unexpected code execution.
    --prepipe-bz2            Same as `--prepipe bz2`, except this is allowed in
                             `.mlrrc`.
    --prepipe-gunzip         Same as `--prepipe gunzip`, except this is allowed in
                             `.mlrrc`.
    --prepipe-zcat           Same as `--prepipe zcat`, except this is allowed in
                             `.mlrrc`.
    --prepipe-zstdcat        Same as `--prepipe zstdcat`, except this is allowed
                             in `.mlrrc`.
    --prepipex {decompression command}
                             Like `--prepipe` with one exception: doesn't insert
                             `<` between command and filename at runtime. Useful
                             for some commands like `unzip -qc` which don't read
                             standard input. Allowed at the command line, but not
                             in `.mlrrc` to avoid unexpected code execution.
    --zin                    Uncompress zlib within the Miller process. Done by
                             default if file ends in `.z`.
    --zstdin                 Uncompress zstd within the Miller process. Done by
                             default if file ends in `.zstd`.

CSV/TSV-ONLY FLAGS

    These are flags which are applicable to CSV format.
    --allow-ragged-csv-input or --ragged or --allow-ragged-tsv-input
                             If a data line has fewer fields than the header line,
                             fill remaining keys with empty string. If a data line
                             has more fields than the header line, use integer
                             field labels as in the implicit-header case.
    --csv-trim-leading-space Trims leading spaces in CSV data. Use this for data
                             like '"foo", "bar' which is non-RFC-4180 compliant,
                             but common.
    --headerless-csv-output or --ho or --headerless-tsv-output
                             Print only CSV/TSV data lines; do not print CSV/TSV
                             header lines.
    --implicit-csv-header or --headerless-csv-input or --hi or --implicit-tsv-header
                             Use 1,2,3,... as field labels, rather than from line
                             1 of input files. Tip: combine with `label` to
                             recreate missing headers.
    --lazy-quotes            Accepts quotes appearing in unquoted fields, and
                             non-doubled quotes appearing in quoted fields.
    --no-auto-unsparsify     For CSV/TSV output: if the record keys change from
                             one row to another, emit a blank line and a new
                             header line. This is non-compliant with RFC 4180 but
                             it helpful for heterogeneous data.
    --no-implicit-csv-header or --no-implicit-tsv-header
                             Opposite of `--implicit-csv-header`. This is the
                             default anyway -- the main use is for the flags to
                             `mlr join` if you have main file(s) which are
                             headerless but you want to join in on a file which
                             does have a CSV/TSV header. Then you could use `mlr
                             --csv --implicit-csv-header join
                             --no-implicit-csv-header -l
                             your-join-in-with-header.csv ...
                             your-headerless.csv`.
    --quote-all              Force double-quoting of CSV fields.
    -N                       Keystroke-saver for `--implicit-csv-header
                             --headerless-csv-output`.

DKVP-ONLY FLAGS

    These are flags which are applicable to DKVP format.
    --incr-key               Without this option, keyless DKVP fields are keyed by
                             field number. For example: `a=10,b=20,30,d=40,50` is
                             ingested as `$a=10,$b=20,$3=30,$d=40,$5=50`. With
                             this option, they're keyed by a running counter of
                             keyless fields. For example: `a=10,b=20,30,d=40,50`
                             is ingested as `$a=10,$b=20,$1=30,$d=40,$2=50`.

FILE-FORMAT FLAGS

    See the File formats doc page, and or `mlr help file-formats`, for more
    about file formats Miller supports.
    Examples: `--csv` for CSV-formatted input and output; `--icsv --opprint` for
    CSV-formatted input and pretty-printed output.
    Please use `--iformat1 --oformat2` rather than `--format1 --oformat2`.
    The latter sets up input and output flags for `format1`, not all of which
    are overridden in all cases by setting output format to `format2`.
    --asv or --asvlite       Use ASV format for input and output data.
    --csv or -c or --c2c     Use CSV format for input and output data.
    --csvlite                Use CSV-lite format for input and output data.
    --dkvp or --d2d          Use DKVP format for input and output data.
    --gen-field-name         Specify field name for --igen. Defaults to "i".
    --gen-start              Specify start value for --igen. Defaults to 1.
    --gen-step               Specify step value for --igen. Defaults to 1.
    --gen-stop               Specify stop value for --igen. Defaults to 100.
    --iasv or --iasvlite     Use ASV format for input data.
    --icsv                   Use CSV format for input data.
    --icsvlite               Use CSV-lite format for input data.
    --idkvp                  Use DKVP format for input data.
    --igen                   Ignore input files and instead generate sequential
                             numeric input using --gen-field-name, --gen-start,
                             --gen-step, and --gen-stop values. See also the
                             seqgen verb, which is more useful/intuitive.
    --ijson                  Use JSON format for input data.
    --ijsonl                 Use JSON Lines format for input data.
    --imd or --imarkdown     Use markdown-tabular format for input data.
    --inidx                  Use NIDX format for input data.
    --io {format name}       Use format name for input and output data. For
                             example: `--io csv` is the same as `--csv`.

                             is the same as `--icsv`.
    -o {format name}         Use format name for output data. For example: `-o
                             csv` is the same as `--ocsv`.

FLATTEN-UNFLATTEN FLAGS

    These flags control how Miller converts record values which are maps or arrays, when input is JSON and output is non-JSON (flattening) or input is non-JSON and output is JSON (unflattening).
    See the flatten/unflatten doc page https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/flatten-unflatten for more information.
    --flatsep or --jflatsep {string}
                             Separator for flattening multi-level JSON keys, e.g.
                             `{"a":{"b":3}}` becomes `a:b => 3` for non-JSON
                             formats. Defaults to `.`.
    --no-auto-flatten        When output is non-JSON, suppress the default
                             auto-flatten behavior. Default: if `$y = [7,8,9]`
                             then this flattens to `y.1=7,y.2=8,y.3=9`, and
                             similarly for maps. With `--no-auto-flatten`, instead
                             we get `$y=[1, 2, 3]`.
    --no-auto-unflatten      When input is non-JSON and output is JSON, suppress
                             the default auto-unflatten behavior. Default: if the
                             input has `y.1=7,y.2=8,y.3=9` then this unflattens to
                             `$y=[7,8,9]`. With `--no-auto-flatten`, instead we
                             get `${y.1}=7,${y.2}=8,${y.3}=9`.

FORMAT-CONVERSION KEYSTROKE-SAVER FLAGS

    As keystroke-savers for format-conversion you may use the following.
    The letters c, t, j, l, d, n, x, p, and m refer to formats CSV, TSV, DKVP, NIDX,
    JSON, JSON Lines, XTAB, PPRINT, and markdown, respectively.
    | In\out   | CSV      | TSV      | JSON     | JSONL | DKVP  | NIDX  | XTAB  | PPRINT | Markdown |
    +----------+----------+----------+----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+--------+----------|

    | PPRINT   | --p2c    | --p2t    | --p2j    | --p2l | --p2d | --p2n | --p2x | -p2p   | --p2m    |
    | Markdown | --m2c    | --m2t    | --m2j    | --m2l | --m2d | --m2n | --m2x | --m2p  |          |
    -p                       Keystroke-saver for `--nidx --fs space --repifs`.
    -T                       Keystroke-saver for `--nidx --fs tab`.

JSON-ONLY FLAGS

    These are flags which are applicable to JSON output format.
    --jlistwrap or --jl      Wrap JSON output in outermost `[ ]`. This is the
                             default for JSON output format.
    --jvquoteall             Force all JSON values -- recursively into lists and
                             object -- to string.
    --jvstack                Put one key-value pair per line for JSON output
                             (multi-line output). This is the default for JSON
                             output format.
    --no-jlistwrap           Do not wrap JSON output in outermost `[ ]`. This is
                             the default for JSON Lines output format.
    --no-jvstack             Put objects/arrays all on one line for JSON output.
                             This is the default for JSON Lines output format.

LEGACY FLAGS

    These are flags which don't do anything in the current Miller version.
    They are accepted as no-op flags in order to keep old scripts from breaking.
    --jknquoteint            Type information from JSON input files is now
                             preserved throughout the processing stream.
    --jquoteall              Type information from JSON input files is now
                             preserved throughout the processing stream.
    --json-fatal-arrays-on-input
                             Miller now supports arrays as of version 6.
    --json-map-arrays-on-input
                             Miller now supports arrays as of version 6.
    --json-skip-arrays-on-input
                             Miller now supports arrays as of version 6.
    --jsonx                  The `--jvstack` flag is now default true in Miller 6.
    --mmap                   Miller no longer uses memory-mapping to access data
                             files.
    --no-mmap                Miller no longer uses memory-mapping to access data
                             files.
    --ojsonx                 The `--jvstack` flag is now default true in Miller 6.
    --quote-minimal          Ignored as of version 6. Types are inferred/retained
                             through the processing flow now.
    --quote-none             Ignored as of version 6. Types are inferred/retained
                             through the processing flow now.
    --quote-numeric          Ignored as of version 6. Types are inferred/retained
                             through the processing flow now.
    --quote-original         Ignored as of version 6. Types are inferred/retained
                             through the processing flow now.
    --vflatsep               Ignored as of version 6. This functionality is
                             subsumed into JSON formatting.

MISCELLANEOUS FLAGS

    These are flags which don't fit into any other category.
    --fflush                 Force buffered output to be written after every
                             output record. The default is flush output after
                             every record if the output is to the terminal, or
                             less often if the output is to a file or a pipe. The
                             default is a significant performance optimization for
                             large files. Use this flag to force frequent updates
                             even when output is to a pipe or file, at a
                             performance cost.
    --files {filename}       Use this to specify a file which itself contains, one
                             per line, names of input files. May be used more than
                             once.
    --from {filename}        Use this to specify an input file before the verb(s),
                             rather than after. May be used more than once.
                             Example: `mlr --from a.dat --from b.dat cat` is the
                             same as `mlr cat a.dat b.dat`.
    --hash-records           This is an internal parameter which normally does not
                             need to be modified. It controls the mechanism by
                             which Miller accesses fields within records. In
                             general --no-hash-records is faster, and is the
                             default. For specific use-cases involving data having
                             many fields, and many of them being processed during
                             a given processing run, --hash-records might offer a
                             slight performance benefit.
    --infer-int-as-float or -A
                             Cast all integers in data files to floats.
    --infer-none or -S       Don't treat values like 123 or 456.7 in data files as
                             int/float; leave them as strings.
    --infer-octal or -O      Treat numbers like 0123 in data files as numeric;
                             default is string. Note that 00--07 etc scan as int;
                             08-09 scan as float.
    --load {filename}        Load DSL script file for all put/filter operations on
                             the command line. If the name following `--load` is a
                             directory, load all `*.mlr` files in that directory.
                             This is just like `put -f` and `filter -f` except
                             it's up-front on the command line, so you can do
                             something like `alias mlr='mlr --load ~/myscripts'`
                             if you like.
    --mfrom {filenames}      Use this to specify one of more input files before
                             the verb(s), rather than after. May be used more than
                             once. The list of filename must end with `--`. This
                             is useful for example since `--from *.csv` doesn't do
                             what you might hope but `--mfrom *.csv --` does.
    --mload {filenames}      Like `--load` but works with more than one filename,
                             e.g. `--mload *.mlr --`.
    --no-dedupe-field-names  By default, if an input record has a field named `x`
                             and another also named `x`, the second will be
                             renamed `x_2`, and so on. With this flag provided,
                             the second `x`'s value will replace the first `x`'s
                             value when the record is read. This flag has no
                             effect on JSON input records, where duplicate keys
                             always result in the last one's value being retained.
    --no-fflush              Let buffered output not be written after every output
                             record. The default is flush output after every
                             record if the output is to the terminal, or less
                             often if the output is to a file or a pipe. The
                             default is a significant performance optimization for
                             large files. Use this flag to allow less-frequent
                             updates when output is to the terminal. This is
                             unlikely to be a noticeable performance improvement,
                             since direct-to-screen output for large files has its
                             own overhead.
    --no-hash-records        See --hash-records.
    --norc                   Do not load a .mlrrc file.
    --nr-progress-mod {m}    With m a positive integer: print filename and record
                             count to os.Stderr every m input records.
    --ofmt {format}          E.g. `%.18f`, `%.0f`, `%9.6e`. Please use
                             sprintf-style codes (https://pkg.go.dev/fmt) for
                             floating-point numbers. If not specified, default
                             formatting is used. See also the `fmtnum` function
                             and the `format-values` verb.
    --ofmte {n}              Use --ofmte 6 as shorthand for --ofmt %.6e, etc.
    --ofmtf {n}              Use --ofmtf 6 as shorthand for --ofmt %.6f, etc.
    --ofmtg {n}              Use --ofmtg 6 as shorthand for --ofmt %.6g, etc.
    --records-per-batch {n}  This is an internal parameter for maximum number of
                             records in a batch size. Normally this does not need
                             to be modified, except when input is from `tail -f`.
                             See also
                             https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference-main-flag-list/.
    --s-no-comment-strip {file name}
                             Take command-line flags from file name, like -s, but
                             with no comment-stripping. For more information
                             please see
                             https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scripting/.
    --seed {n}               with `n` of the form `12345678` or `0xcafefeed`. For
                             `put`/`filter` `urand`, `urandint`, and `urand32`.
    --tz {timezone}          Specify timezone, overriding `$TZ` environment
                             variable (if any).
    -I                       Process files in-place. For each file name on the
                             command line, output is written to a temp file in the
                             same directory, which is then renamed over the
                             original. Each file is processed in isolation: if the
                             output format is CSV, CSV headers will be present in
                             each output file, statistics are only over each
                             file's own records; and so on.
    -n                       Process no input files, nor standard input either.
                             Useful for `mlr put` with `begin`/`end` statements
                             only. (Same as `--from /dev/null`.) Also useful in
                             `mlr -n put -v '...'` for analyzing abstract syntax
                             trees (if that's your thing).
    -s {file name}           Take command-line flags from file name. For more
                             information please see
                             https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/scripting/.
    -x                       If any record has an error value in it, report it and
                             stop the process. The default is to print the field
                             value as `(error)` and continue.

OUTPUT-COLORIZATION FLAGS

    Miller uses colors to highlight outputs. You can specify color preferences.
    Note: output colorization does not work on Windows.
    Things having colors:
    * Keys in CSV header lines, JSON keys, etc
    * Values in CSV data lines, JSON scalar values, etc in regression-test output
    * Some online-help strings
    Rules for coloring:
    * By default, colorize output only if writing to stdout and stdout is a TTY.
        * Example: color: `mlr --csv cat foo.csv`
        * Example: no color: `mlr --csv cat foo.csv > bar.csv`
        * Example: no color: `mlr --csv cat foo.csv | less`
    * The default colors were chosen since they look OK with white or black
      terminal background, and are differentiable with common varieties of human
      color vision.
    Mechanisms for coloring:
    * Miller uses ANSI escape sequences only. This does not work on Windows
      except within Cygwin.
    * Requires `TERM` environment variable to be set to non-empty string.
    * Doesn't try to check to see whether the terminal is capable of 256-color
      ANSI vs 16-color ANSI. Note that if colors are in the range 0..15
      then 16-color ANSI escapes are used, so this is in the user's control.
    How you can control colorization:
    * Suppression/unsuppression:
        * Environment variable `export MLR_NO_COLOR=true` or `export NO_COLOR=true`
    	  means don't color even if stdout+TTY.
        * Environment variable `export MLR_ALWAYS_COLOR=true` means do color
          even if not stdout+TTY.
          For example, you might want to use this when piping mlr output to `less -r`.
        * Command-line flags `--no-color` or `-M`, `--always-color` or `-C`.
    * Color choices can be specified by using environment variables, or command-line
      flags, with values 0..255:
        * `export MLR_KEY_COLOR=208`, `MLR_VALUE_COLOR=33`, etc.:
            `MLR_KEY_COLOR` `MLR_VALUE_COLOR` `MLR_PASS_COLOR` `MLR_FAIL_COLOR`
            `MLR_REPL_PS1_COLOR` `MLR_REPL_PS2_COLOR` `MLR_HELP_COLOR`
        * Command-line flags `--key-color 208`, `--value-color 33`, etc.:
            `--key-color` `--value-color` `--pass-color` `--fail-color`
            `--repl-ps1-color` `--repl-ps2-color` `--help-color`
        * This is particularly useful if your terminal's background color clashes
          with current settings.
    If environment-variable settings and command-line flags are both provided, the
    latter take precedence.
    Colors can be specified using names such as "red" or "orchid": please see
    `mlr --list-color-names` to see available names. They can also be specified using
    numbers in the range 0..255, like 170: please see `mlr --list-color-codes`.
    You can also use "bold", "underline", and/or "reverse". Additionally, combinations of
    those can be joined with a "-", like "red-bold", "bold-170", "bold-underline", etc.
    --always-color or -C     Instructs Miller to colorize output even when it
                             normally would not. Useful for piping output to `less
                             -r`.
    --fail-color             Specify the color (see `--list-color-codes` and
                             `--list-color-names`) for failing cases in `mlr
                             regtest`.
    --help-color             Specify the color (see `--list-color-codes` and
                             `--list-color-names`) for highlights in `mlr help`
                             output.
    --key-color              Specify the color (see `--list-color-codes` and
                             `--list-color-names`) for record keys.
    --list-color-codes       Show the available color codes in the range 0..255,
                             such as 170 for example.
    --list-color-names       Show the names for the available color codes, such as
                             `orchid` for example.
    --no-color or -M         Instructs Miller to not colorize any output.
    --pass-color             Specify the color (see `--list-color-codes` and
                             `--list-color-names`) for passing cases in `mlr
                             regtest`.
    --value-color            Specify the color (see `--list-color-codes` and
                             `--list-color-names`) for record values.

PPRINT-ONLY FLAGS

    These are flags which are applicable to PPRINT format.
    --barred or --barred-output
                             Prints a border around PPRINT output.
    --barred-input           When used in conjunction with --pprint, accepts
                             barred input.
    --right                  Right-justifies all fields for PPRINT output.

PROFILING FLAGS

    These are flags for profiling Miller performance.
    --cpuprofile {CPU-profile file name}
                             Create a CPU-profile file for performance analysis.
                             Instructions will be printed to stderr. This flag
                             must be the very first thing after 'mlr' on the
                             command line.
    --time                   Print elapsed execution time in seconds to stderr at
                             the end of the execution of the program.
    --traceprofile           Create a trace-profile file for performance analysis.
                             Instructions will be printed to stderr. This flag
                             must be the very first thing after 'mlr' on the
                             command line.

SEPARATOR FLAGS

    See the Separators doc page for more about record separators, field
    separators, and pair separators. Also see the File formats doc page, or
    `mlr help file-formats`, for more about the file formats Miller supports.
    In brief:
    * For DKVP records like `x=1,y=2,z=3`, the fields are separated by a comma,
      the key-value pairs are separated by a comma, and each record is separated
      from the next by a newline.
    * Each file format has its own default separators.
    * Most formats, such as CSV, don't support pair-separators: keys are on the CSV
      header line and values are on each CSV data line; keys and values are not
      placed next to one another.
    * Some separators are not programmable: for example JSON uses a colon as a
      pair separator but this is non-modifiable in the JSON spec.
    * You can set separators differently between Miller's input and output --
      hence `--ifs` and `--ofs`, etc.
    Notes about line endings:
    * Default line endings (`--irs` and `--ors`) are newline
      which is interpreted to accept carriage-return/newline files (e.g. on Windows)
      for input, and to produce platform-appropriate line endings on output.
    Notes about all other separators:
    * IPS/OPS are only used for DKVP and XTAB formats, since only in these formats
      do key-value pairs appear juxtaposed.
    * IRS/ORS are ignored for XTAB format. Nominally IFS and OFS are newlines;
      XTAB records are separated by two or more consecutive IFS/OFS -- i.e.
      a blank line. Everything above about `--irs/--ors/--rs auto` becomes `--ifs/--ofs/--fs`
      auto for XTAB format. (XTAB's default IFS/OFS are "auto".)
    * OFS must be single-character for PPRINT format. This is because it is used
      with repetition for alignment; multi-character separators would make
      alignment impossible.
    * OPS may be multi-character for XTAB format, in which case alignment is
      disabled.
    * FS/PS are ignored for markdown format; RS is used.
    * All FS and PS options are ignored for JSON format, since they are not relevant
      to the JSON format.
    * You can specify separators in any of the following ways, shown by example:
      - Type them out, quoting as necessary for shell escapes, e.g.
        `--fs '|' --ips :`
      - C-style escape sequences, e.g. `--rs '\r\n' --fs '\t'`.
      - To avoid backslashing, you can use any of the following names:
              ascii_esc  = "\x1b"
              ascii_etx  = "\x03"
              ascii_fs   = "\x1c"
              ascii_gs   = "\x1d"
              ascii_null = "\x00"
              ascii_rs   = "\x1e"
              ascii_soh  = "\x01"
              ascii_stx  = "\x02"
              ascii_us   = "\x1f"
              asv_fs     = "\x1f"
              asv_rs     = "\x1e"
              colon      = ":"
              comma      = ","
              cr         = "\r"
              crcr       = "\r\r"
              crlf       = "\r\n"
              crlfcrlf   = "\r\n\r\n"
              equals     = "="
              lf         = "\n"
              lflf       = "\n\n"
              newline    = "\n"
              pipe       = "|"
              semicolon  = ";"
              slash      = "/"
              space      = " "
              tab        = "\t"
              usv_fs     = "\xe2\x90\x9f"
              usv_rs     = "\xe2\x90\x9e"
      - Similarly, you can use the following for `--ifs-regex` and `--ips-regex`:
              spaces     = "( )+"
              tabs       = "(\t)+"
              whitespace = "([ \t])+"
    * Default separators by format:
            Format   FS     PS     RS
            csv      ","    N/A    "\n"
            csvlite  ","    N/A    "\n"
            dkvp     ","    "="    "\n"
            gen      ","    N/A    "\n"
            json     N/A    N/A    N/A
            markdown " "    N/A    "\n"
            nidx     " "    N/A    "\n"
            pprint   " "    N/A    "\n"
            tsv      "	"    N/A    "\n"
            xtab     "\n"   " "    "\n\n"
    --fs {string}            Specify FS for input and output.
    --ifs {string}           Specify FS for input.
    --ifs-regex {string}     Specify FS for input as a regular expression.
    --ips {string}           Specify PS for input.
    --ips-regex {string}     Specify PS for input as a regular expression.
    --irs {string}           Specify RS for input.
    --ofs {string}           Specify FS for output.
    --ops {string}           Specify PS for output.
    --ors {string}           Specify RS for output.
    --ps {string}            Specify PS for input and output.
    --repifs                 Let IFS be repeated: e.g. for splitting on multiple
                             spaces.
    --rs {string}            Specify RS for input and output.

AUXILIARY COMMANDS
    Available entries:
      mlr aux-list
      mlr hex
      mlr lecat
      mlr termcvt
      mlr unhex
    For more information, please invoke mlr {subcommand} --help.

MLRRC
    You can set up personal defaults via a $HOME/.mlrrc and/or ./.mlrrc.
    For example, if you usually process CSV, then you can put "--csv" in your .mlrrc file
    and that will be the default input/output format unless otherwise specified on the command line.
    The .mlrrc file format is one "--flag" or "--option value" per line, with the leading "--" optional.
    Hash-style comments and blank lines are ignored.
    Sample .mlrrc:
    # Input and output formats are CSV by default (unless otherwise specified
    # on the mlr command line):
    csv
    # These are no-ops for CSV, but when I do use JSON output, I want these
    # pretty-printing options to be used:
    jvstack
    jlistwrap
    How to specify location of .mlrrc:
    * If $MLRRC is set:
      o If its value is "__none__" then no .mlrrc files are processed.
      o Otherwise, its value (as a filename) is loaded and processed. If there are syntax
        errors, they abort mlr with a usage message (as if you had mistyped something on the
        command line). If the file can't be loaded at all, though, it is silently skipped.
      o Any .mlrrc in your home directory or current directory is ignored whenever $MLRRC is
        set in the environment.
    * Otherwise:
      o If $HOME/.mlrrc exists, it's then processed as above.
      o If ./.mlrrc exists, it's then also processed as above.
      (I.e. current-directory .mlrrc defaults are stacked over home-directory .mlrrc defaults.)
    * The command-line flag "--norc" can be used to suppress loading the .mlrrc file even when other
      conditions are met.

REPL
    Usage: mlr repl [options] {zero or more data-file names}
    -v Prints the expressions's AST (abstract syntax tree), which gives
       full transparency on the precedence and associativity rules of
       Miller's grammar, to stdout.
    -d Like -v but uses a parenthesized-expression format for the AST.
    -D Like -d but with output all on one line.
    -w Show warnings about uninitialized variables
    -q Don't show startup banner
    -s Don't show prompts
    --load {DSL script file} Load script file before presenting the prompt.
       If the name following --load is a directory, load all "*.mlr" files
       in that directory.
    --mload {DSL script files} -- Like --load but works with more than one filename,
       e.g. '--mload *.mlr --'.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Or any --icsv, --ojson, etc. reader/writer options as for the main Miller command line.
    Any data-file names are opened just as if you had waited and typed :open {filenames}
    at the Miller REPL prompt.

VERBS

  altkv
    Usage: mlr altkv [options]
    Given fields with values of the form a,b,c,d,e,f emits a=b,c=d,e=f pairs.
    Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  bar
    Usage: mlr bar [options]
    Replaces a numeric field with a number of asterisks, allowing for cheesy
    bar plots. These align best with --opprint or --oxtab output format.
    Options:
    -f   {a,b,c}      Field names to convert to bars.
    --lo {lo}         Lower-limit value for min-width bar: default '0.000000'.
    --hi {hi}         Upper-limit value for max-width bar: default '100.000000'.
    -w   {n}          Bar-field width: default '40'.
    --auto            Automatically computes limits, ignoring --lo and --hi.
                      Holds all records in memory before producing any output.
    -c   {character}  Fill character: default '*'.
    -x   {character}  Out-of-bounds character: default '#'.
    -b   {character}  Blank character: default '.'.
    Nominally the fill, out-of-bounds, and blank characters will be strings of length 1.
    However you can make them all longer if you so desire.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  bootstrap
    Usage: mlr bootstrap [options]
    Emits an n-sample, with replacement, of the input records.
    See also mlr sample and mlr shuffle.
    Options:
     -n Number of samples to output. Defaults to number of input records.
        Must be non-negative.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  case
    Usage: mlr case [options]
    Uppercases strings in record keys and/or values.
    Options:
    -k  Case only keys, not keys and values.
    -v  Case only values, not keys and values.
    -f  {a,b,c} Specify which field names to case (default: all)
    -u  Convert to uppercase
    -l  Convert to lowercase
    -s  Convert to sentence case (capitalize first letter)
    -t  Convert to title case (capitalize words)
    -h|--help Show this message.

  cat
    Usage: mlr cat [options]
    Passes input records directly to output. Most useful for format conversion.
    Options:
    -n         Prepend field "n" to each record with record-counter starting at 1.
    -N {name}  Prepend field {name} to each record with record-counter starting at 1.
    -g {a,b,c} Optional group-by-field names for counters, e.g. a,b,c
    --filename Prepend current filename to each record.
    --filenum  Prepend current filenum (1-up) to each record.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  check
    Usage: mlr check [options]
    Consumes records without printing any output,
    Useful for doing a well-formatted check on input data.
    with the exception that warnings are printed to stderr.
    Current checks are:
    * Data are parseable
    * If any key is the empty string
    Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  clean-whitespace
    Usage: mlr clean-whitespace [options]
    For each record, for each field in the record, whitespace-cleans the keys and/or
    values. Whitespace-cleaning entails stripping leading and trailing whitespace,
    and replacing multiple whitespace with singles. For finer-grained control,
    please see the DSL functions lstrip, rstrip, strip, collapse_whitespace,
    and clean_whitespace.
    Options:
    -k|--keys-only    Do not touch values.
    -v|--values-only  Do not touch keys.
    It is an error to specify -k as well as -v -- to clean keys and values,
    leave off -k as well as -v.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  count-distinct
    Usage: mlr count-distinct [options]
    Prints number of records having distinct values for specified field names.
    Same as uniq -c.
    Options:
    -f {a,b,c}    Field names for distinct count.
    -x {a,b,c}    Field names to exclude for distinct count: use each record's others instead.
    -n            Show only the number of distinct values. Not compatible with -u.
    -o {name}     Field name for output count. Default "count".
                  Ignored with -u.
    -u            Do unlashed counts for multiple field names. With -f a,b and
                  without -u, computes counts for distinct combinations of a
                  and b field values. With -f a,b and with -u, computes counts
                  for distinct a field values and counts for distinct b field
                  values separately.

  count
    Usage: mlr count [options]
    Prints number of records, optionally grouped by distinct values for specified field names.
    Options:
    -g {a,b,c} Optional group-by-field names for counts, e.g. a,b,c
    -n {n} Show only the number of distinct values. Not interesting without -g.
    -o {name} Field name for output-count. Default "count".
    -h|--help Show this message.

  count-similar
    Usage: mlr count-similar [options]
    Ingests all records, then emits each record augmented by a count of
    the number of other records having the same group-by field values.
    Options:
    -g {a,b,c} Group-by-field names for counts, e.g. a,b,c
    -o {name} Field name for output-counts. Defaults to "count".
    -h|--help Show this message.

  cut
    Usage: mlr cut [options]
    Passes through input records with specified fields included/excluded.
    Options:
     -f {a,b,c} Comma-separated field names for cut, e.g. a,b,c.
     -o Retain fields in the order specified here in the argument list.
        Default is to retain them in the order found in the input data.
     -x|--complement  Exclude, rather than include, field names specified by -f.
     -r Treat field names as regular expressions. "ab", "a.*b" will
       match any field name containing the substring "ab" or matching
       "a.*b", respectively; anchors of the form "^ab$", "^a.*b$" may
       be used.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Examples:
      mlr cut -f hostname,status
      mlr cut -x -f hostname,status
      mlr cut -r -f '^status$,sda[0-9]'
      mlr cut -r -f '^status$,"sda[0-9]"'
      mlr cut -r -f '^status$,"sda[0-9]"i' (this is case-insensitive)

  decimate
    Usage: mlr decimate [options]
    Passes through one of every n records, optionally by category.
    Options:
     -b Decimate by printing first of every n.
     -e Decimate by printing last of every n (default).
     -g {a,b,c} Optional group-by-field names for decimate counts, e.g. a,b,c.
     -n {n} Decimation factor (default 10).
    -h|--help Show this message.

  fill-down
    Usage: mlr fill-down [options]
    If a given record has a missing value for a given field, fill that from
    the corresponding value from a previous record, if any.
    By default, a 'missing' field either is absent, or has the empty-string value.
    With -a, a field is 'missing' only if it is absent.
    Options:
     --all Operate on all fields in the input.
     -a|--only-if-absent If a given record has a missing value for a given field,
         fill that from the corresponding value from a previous record, if any.
         By default, a 'missing' field either is absent, or has the empty-string value.
         With -a, a field is 'missing' only if it is absent.
     -f  Field names for fill-down.

  fill-empty
    Usage: mlr fill-empty [options]
    Fills empty-string fields with specified fill-value.
    Options:
    -v {string} Fill-value: defaults to "N/A"
    -S          Don't infer type -- so '-v 0' would fill string 0 not int 0.

  filter
    Usage: mlr filter [options] {DSL expression}
    Lets you use a domain-specific language to programmatically filter which
    stream records will be output.
    See also: https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference-verbs
    Options:
    -f {file name} File containing a DSL expression (see examples below). If the filename
       is a directory, all *.mlr files in that directory are loaded.
    -e {expression} You can use this after -f to add an expression. Example use
       case: define functions/subroutines in a file you specify with -f, then call
       them with an expression you specify with -e.
    (If you mix -e and -f then the expressions are evaluated in the order encountered.
    Since the expression pieces are simply concatenated, please be sure to use intervening
    semicolons to separate expressions.)
    -s name=value: Predefines out-of-stream variable @name to have
        Thus mlr put -s foo=97 '$column += @foo' is like
        mlr put 'begin {@foo = 97} $column += @foo'.
        The value part is subject to type-inferencing.
        May be specified more than once, e.g. -s name1=value1 -s name2=value2.
        Note: the value may be an environment variable, e.g. -s sequence=$SEQUENCE
    -x (default false) Prints records for which {expression} evaluates to false, not true,
       i.e. invert the sense of the filter expression.
    -q Does not include the modified record in the output stream.
       Useful for when all desired output is in begin and/or end blocks.
    -S and -F: There are no-ops in Miller 6 and above, since now type-inferencing is done
       by the record-readers before filter/put is executed. Supported as no-op pass-through
       flags for backward compatibility.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Parser-info options:
    -w Print warnings about things like uninitialized variables.
    -W Same as -w, but exit the process if there are any warnings.
    -p Prints the expressions's AST (abstract syntax tree), which gives full
      transparency on the precedence and associativity rules of Miller's grammar,
      to stdout.
    -d Like -p but uses a parenthesized-expression format for the AST.
    -D Like -d but with output all on one line.
    -E Echo DSL expression before printing parse-tree
    -v Same as -E -p.
    -X Exit after parsing but before stream-processing. Useful with -v/-d/-D, if you
       only want to look at parser information.
    Records will pass the filter depending on the last bare-boolean statement in
    the DSL expression. That can be the result of <, ==, >, etc., the return value of a function call
    which returns boolean, etc.
    Examples:
      mlr --csv --from example.csv filter '$color == "red"'
      mlr --csv --from example.csv filter '$color == "red" && flag == true'
    More example filter expressions:
      First record in each file:
        'FNR == 1'
      Subsampling:
        'urand() < 0.001'
      Compound booleans:
        '$color != "blue" && $value > 4.2'
        '($x < 0.5 && $y < 0.5) || ($x > 0.5 && $y > 0.5)'
      Regexes with case-insensitive flag
        '($name =~ "^sys.*east$") || ($name =~ "^dev.[0-9]+"i)'
      Assignments, then bare-boolean filter statement:
        '$ab = $a+$b; $cd = $c+$d; $ab != $cd'
      Bare-boolean filter statement within a conditional:
        'if (NR < 100) {
          $x > 0.3;
        } else {
          $x > 0.002;
        }
        '
      Using 'any' higher-order function to see if $index is 10, 20, or 30:
        'any([10,20,30], func(e) {return $index == e})'
    See also https://miller.readthedocs.io/reference-dsl for more context.

  flatten
    Usage: mlr flatten [options]
    Flattens multi-level maps to single-level ones. Example: field with name 'a'
    and value '{"b": { "c": 4 }}' becomes name 'a.b.c' and value 4.
    Options:
    -f Comma-separated list of field names to flatten (default all).
    -s Separator, defaulting to mlr --flatsep value.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  format-values
    Usage: mlr format-values [options]
    Applies format strings to all field values, depending on autodetected type.
    * If a field value is detected to be integer, applies integer format.
    * Else, if a field value is detected to be float, applies float format.
    * Else, applies string format.
    Note: this is a low-keystroke way to apply formatting to many fields. To get
    finer control, please see the fmtnum function within the mlr put DSL.
    Note: this verb lets you apply arbitrary format strings, which can produce
    undefined behavior and/or program crashes.  See your system's "man printf".
    Options:
    -i {integer format} Defaults to "%d".
                        Examples: "%06lld", "%08llx".
                        Note that Miller integers are long long so you must use
                        formats which apply to long long, e.g. with ll in them.
                        Undefined behavior results otherwise.
    -f {float format}   Defaults to "%f".
                        Examples: "%8.3lf", "%.6le".
                        Note that Miller floats are double-precision so you must
                        use formats which apply to double, e.g. with l[efg] in them.
                        Undefined behavior results otherwise.
    -s {string format}  Defaults to "%s".
                        Examples: "_%s", "%08s".
                        Note that you must use formats which apply to string, e.g.
                        with s in them. Undefined behavior results otherwise.
    -n                  Coerce field values autodetected as int to float, and then
                        apply the float format.

  fraction
    Usage: mlr fraction [options]
    For each record's value in specified fields, computes the ratio of that
    value to the sum of values in that field over all input records.
    E.g. with input records  x=1  x=2  x=3  and  x=4, emits output records
    x=1,x_fraction=0.1  x=2,x_fraction=0.2  x=3,x_fraction=0.3  and  x=4,x_fraction=0.4
    Note: this is internally a two-pass algorithm: on the first pass it retains
    input records and accumulates sums; on the second pass it computes quotients
    and emits output records. This means it produces no output until all input is read.
    Options:
    -f {a,b,c}    Field name(s) for fraction calculation
    -g {d,e,f}    Optional group-by-field name(s) for fraction counts
    -p            Produce percents [0..100], not fractions [0..1]. Output field names
                  end with "_percent" rather than "_fraction"
    -c            Produce cumulative distributions, i.e. running sums: each output
                  value folds in the sum of the previous for the specified group
                  E.g. with input records  x=1  x=2  x=3  and  x=4, emits output records
                  x=1,x_cumulative_fraction=0.1  x=2,x_cumulative_fraction=0.3
                  x=3,x_cumulative_fraction=0.6  and  x=4,x_cumulative_fraction=1.0

  gap
    Usage: mlr gap [options]
    Emits an empty record every n records, or when certain values change.
    Options:
    Emits an empty record every n records, or when certain values change.
    -g {a,b,c} Print a gap whenever values of these fields (e.g. a,b,c) changes.
    -n {n} Print a gap every n records.
    One of -f or -g is required.
    -n is ignored if -g is present.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  grep
    Usage: mlr grep [options] {regular expression}
    Passes through records which match the regular expression.
    Options:
    -i  Use case-insensitive search.
    -v  Invert: pass through records which do not match the regex.
    -a  Only grep for values, not keys and values.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Note that "mlr filter" is more powerful, but requires you to know field names.
    By contrast, "mlr grep" allows you to regex-match the entire record. It does this
    by formatting each record in memory as DKVP (or NIDX, if -a is supplied), using
    OFS "," and OPS "=", and matching the resulting line against the regex specified
    here. In particular, the regex is not applied to the input stream: if you have
    CSV with header line "x,y,z" and data line "1,2,3" then the regex will be
    matched, not against either of these lines, but against the DKVP line
    "x=1,y=2,z=3".  Furthermore, not all the options to system grep are supported,
    and this command is intended to be merely a keystroke-saver. To get all the
    features of system grep, you can do
      "mlr --odkvp ... | grep ... | mlr --idkvp ..."

  group-by
    Usage: mlr group-by [options] {comma-separated field names}
    Outputs records in batches having identical values at specified field names.Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  group-like
    Usage: mlr group-like [options]
    Outputs records in batches having identical field names.
    Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  gsub
    Usage: mlr gsub [options]
    Replaces old string with new string in specified field(s), with regex support
    for the old string and handling multiple matches, like the `gsub` DSL function.
    See also the `sub` and `ssub` verbs.
    Options:
    -f {a,b,c}  Field names to convert.
    -r {regex}  Regular expression for field names to convert.
    -a          Convert all field names.
    -h|--help   Show this message.

  having-fields
    Usage: mlr having-fields [options]
    Conditionally passes through records depending on each record's field names.
    Options:
      --at-least      {comma-separated names}
      --which-are     {comma-separated names}
      --at-most       {comma-separated names}
      --all-matching  {regular expression}
      --any-matching  {regular expression}
      --none-matching {regular expression}
    Examples:
      mlr having-fields --which-are amount,status,owner
      mlr having-fields --any-matching 'sda[0-9]'
      mlr having-fields --any-matching '"sda[0-9]"'
      mlr having-fields --any-matching '"sda[0-9]"i' (this is case-insensitive)

  head
    Usage: mlr head [options]
    Passes through the first n records, optionally by category.
    Without -g, ceases consuming more input (i.e. is fast) when n records have been read.
    Options:
    -g {a,b,c} Optional group-by-field names for head counts, e.g. a,b,c.
    -n {n} Head-count to print. Default 10.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  histogram
    Just a histogram. Input values < lo or > hi are not counted.
    Usage: mlr histogram [options]
    -f {a,b,c}    Value-field names for histogram counts
    --lo {lo}     Histogram low value
    --hi {hi}     Histogram high value
    --nbins {n}   Number of histogram bins. Defaults to 20.
    --auto        Automatically computes limits, ignoring --lo and --hi.
                  Holds all values in memory before producing any output.
    -o {prefix}   Prefix for output field name. Default: no prefix.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  json-parse
    Usage: mlr json-parse [options]
    Tries to convert string field values to parsed JSON, e.g. "[1,2,3]" -> [1,2,3].
    Options:
    -f {...} Comma-separated list of field names to json-parse (default all).
    -k       If supplied, then on parse fail for any cell, keep the (unparsable)
             input value for the cell.
    -h|--help Show this message.

  json-stringify
    Usage: mlr json-stringify [options]
    Produces string field values from field-value data, e.g. [1,2,3] -> "[1,2,3]".
    Options:
    -f {...} Comma-separated list of field names to json-parse (default all).
    --jvstack Produce multi-line JSON output.
    --no-jvstack Produce single-line JSON output per record (default).
    -h|--help Show this message.

  join
    Usage: mlr join [options]
    Joins records from specified left file name with records from all file names
    at the end of the Miller argument list.
    Functionality is essentially the same as the system "join" command, but for
    record streams.
    Options:
      -f {left file name}
      -j {a,b,c}   Comma-separated join-field names for output
      -l {a,b,c}   Comma-separated join-field names for left input file;
                   defaults to -j values if omitted.
      -r {a,b,c}   Comma-separated join-field names for right input file(s);
                   defaults to -j values if omitted.
      --lk|--left-keep-field-names {a,b,c} If supplied, this means keep only the specified field
                   names from the left file. Automatically includes the join-field name(s). Helpful
                   for when you only want a limited subset of information from the left file.
                   Tip: you can use --lk "": this means the left file becomes solely a row-selector
                   for the input files.
      --lp {text}  Additional prefix for non-join output field names from
                   the left file
      --rp {text}  Additional prefix for non-join output field names from
                   the right file(s)
      --np         Do not emit paired records
      --ul         Emit unpaired records from the left file
      --ur         Emit unpaired records from the right file(s)
      -s|--sorted-input  Require sorted input: records must be sorted
                   lexically by their join-field names, else not all records will
                   be paired. The only likely use case for this is with a left
                   file which is too big to fit into system memory otherwise.
      -u           Enable unsorted input. (This is the default even without -u.)
                   In this case, the entire left file will be loaded into memory.
      --prepipe {command} As in main input options; see mlr --help for details.
                   If you wish to use a prepipe command for the main input as well
                   as here, it must be specified there as well as here.
      --prepipex {command} Likewise.
    File-format options default to those for the right file names on the Miller
    argument list, but may be overridden for the left file as follows. Please see
    the main "mlr --help" for more information on syntax for these arguments:
      -i {one of csv,dkvp,nidx,pprint,xtab}
      --irs {record-separator character}
      --ifs {field-separator character}
      --ips {pair-separator character}
      --repifs
      --implicit-csv-header
      --implicit-tsv-header
      --no-implicit-csv-header
      --no-implicit-tsv-header
    For example, if you have 'mlr --csv ... join -l foo ... ' then the left-file format will
    be specified CSV as well unless you override with 'mlr --csv ... join --ijson -l foo' etc.
    Likewise, if you have 'mlr --csv --implicit-csv-header ...' then the join-in file will be
    expected to be headerless as well unless you put '--no-implicit-csv-header' after 'join'.
    Please use "mlr --usage-separator-options" for information on specifying separators.
    Please see https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference-verbs#join for more information
    including examples.

  label
    Usage: mlr label [options] {new1,new2,new3,...}
    Given n comma-separated names, renames the first n fields of each record to
    have the respective name. (Fields past the nth are left with their original
    names.) Particularly useful with --inidx or --implicit-csv-header, to give
    useful names to otherwise integer-indexed fields.
    Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  latin1-to-utf8
    Usage: mlr latin1-to-utf8, with no options.
    Recursively converts record strings from Latin-1 to UTF-8.
    For field-level control, please see the latin1_to_utf8 DSL function.
    Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  least-frequent
    Usage: mlr least-frequent [options]
    Shows the least frequently occurring distinct values for specified field names.
    The first entry is the statistical anti-mode; the remaining are runners-up.
    Options:
    -f {one or more comma-separated field names}. Required flag.
    -n {count}. Optional flag defaulting to 10.
    -b          Suppress counts; show only field values.
    -o {name}   Field name for output count. Default "count".
    See also "mlr most-frequent".

  merge-fields
    Usage: mlr merge-fields [options]
    Computes univariate statistics for each input record, accumulated across
    specified fields.
    Options:
    -a {sum,count,...}  Names of accumulators. One or more of:
      count    Count instances of fields
      null_count Count number of empty-string/JSON-null instances per field
      distinct_count Count number of distinct values per field
      mode     Find most-frequently-occurring values for fields; first-found wins tie
      antimode Find least-frequently-occurring values for fields; first-found wins tie
      sum      Compute sums of specified fields
      mean     Compute averages (sample means) of specified fields
      mad      Compute mean absolute deviation
      var      Compute sample variance of specified fields
      stddev   Compute sample standard deviation of specified fields
      meaneb   Estimate error bars for averages (assuming no sample autocorrelation)
      skewness Compute sample skewness of specified fields
      kurtosis Compute sample kurtosis of specified fields
      min      Compute minimum values of specified fields
      max      Compute maximum values of specified fields
      minlen   Compute minimum string-lengths of specified fields
      maxlen   Compute maximum string-lengths of specified fields
    -f {a,b,c}  Value-field names on which to compute statistics. Requires -o.
    -r {a,b,c}  Regular expressions for value-field names on which to compute
                statistics. Requires -o.
    -c {a,b,c}  Substrings for collapse mode. All fields which have the same names
                after removing substrings will be accumulated together. Please see
                examples below.
    -i          Use interpolated percentiles, like R's type=7; default like type=1.
                Not sensical for string-valued fields.
    -o {name}   Output field basename for -f/-r.
    -k          Keep the input fields which contributed to the output statistics;
                the default is to omit them.
    String-valued data make sense unless arithmetic on them is required,
    e.g. for sum, mean, interpolated percentiles, etc. In case of mixed data,
    numbers are less than strings.
    Example input data: "a_in_x=1,a_out_x=2,b_in_y=4,b_out_x=8".
    Example: mlr merge-fields -a sum,count -f a_in_x,a_out_x -o foo
      produces "b_in_y=4,b_out_x=8,foo_sum=3,foo_count=2" since "a_in_x,a_out_x" are
      summed over.
    Example: mlr merge-fields -a sum,count -r in_,out_ -o bar
      produces "bar_sum=15,bar_count=4" since all four fields are summed over.
    Example: mlr merge-fields -a sum,count -c in_,out_
      produces "a_x_sum=3,a_x_count=2,b_y_sum=4,b_y_count=1,b_x_sum=8,b_x_count=1"
      since "a_in_x" and "a_out_x" both collapse to "a_x", "b_in_y" collapses to
      "b_y", and "b_out_x" collapses to "b_x".

  most-frequent
    Usage: mlr most-frequent [options]
    Shows the most frequently occurring distinct values for specified field names.
    The first entry is the statistical mode; the remaining are runners-up.
    Options:
    -f {one or more comma-separated field names}. Required flag.
    -n {count}. Optional flag defaulting to 10.
    -b          Suppress counts; show only field values.
    -o {name}   Field name for output count. Default "count".
    See also "mlr least-frequent".

  nest
    Usage: mlr nest [options]
    Explodes specified field values into separate fields/records, or reverses this.
    Options:
      --explode,--implode   One is required.
      --values,--pairs      One is required.
      --across-records,--across-fields One is required.
      -f {field name}       Required.
      --nested-fs {string}  Defaults to ";". Field separator for nested values.
      --nested-ps {string}  Defaults to ":". Pair separator for nested key-value pairs.
      --evar {string}       Shorthand for --explode --values --across-records --nested-fs {string}
      --ivar {string}       Shorthand for --implode --values --across-records --nested-fs {string}
    Please use "mlr --usage-separator-options" for information on specifying separators.
    Examples:
      mlr nest --explode --values --across-records -f x
      with input record "x=a;b;c,y=d" produces output records
        "x=a,y=d"
        "x=b,y=d"
        "x=c,y=d"
      Use --implode to do the reverse.
      mlr nest --explode --values --across-fields -f x
      with input record "x=a;b;c,y=d" produces output records
        "x_1=a,x_2=b,x_3=c,y=d"
      Use --implode to do the reverse.
      mlr nest --explode --pairs --across-records -f x

        "a=1,y=d"
        "b=2,y=d"
        "c=3,y=d"
      mlr nest --explode --pairs --across-fields -f x
      with input record "x=a:1;b:2;c:3,y=d" produces output records
        "a=1,b=2,c=3,y=d"
    Notes:
    * With --pairs, --implode doesn't make sense since the original field name has
      been lost.
    * The combination "--implode --values --across-records" is non-streaming:
      no output records are produced until all input records have been read. In
      particular, this means it won't work in `tail -f` contexts. But all other flag
      combinations result in streaming (`tail -f` friendly) data processing.
      If input is coming from `tail -f`, be sure to use `--records-per-batch 1`.
    * It's up to you to ensure that the nested-fs is distinct from your data's IFS:
      e.g. by default the former is semicolon and the latter is comma.

  nothing
    Usage: mlr nothing [options]
    Drops all input records. Useful for testing, or after tee/print/etc. have
    produced other output.
    Options:

  put
    Usage: mlr put [options] {DSL expression}
    Lets you use a domain-specific language to programmatically alter stream records.
    See also: https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference-verbs
    Options:
    -f {file name} File containing a DSL expression (see examples below). If the filename
       is a directory, all *.mlr files in that directory are loaded.
    -e {expression} You can use this after -f to add an expression. Example use
       case: define functions/subroutines in a file you specify with -f, then call
       them with an expression you specify with -e.
    (If you mix -e and -f then the expressions are evaluated in the order encountered.
    Since the expression pieces are simply concatenated, please be sure to use intervening
    semicolons to separate expressions.)
    -s name=value: Predefines out-of-stream variable @name to have
        Thus mlr put -s foo=97 '$column += @foo' is like
        mlr put 'begin {@foo = 97} $column += @foo'.
        The value part is subject to type-inferencing.
        May be specified more than once, e.g. -s name1=value1 -s name2=value2.
        Note: the value may be an environment variable, e.g. -s sequence=$SEQUENCE
    -x (default false) Prints records for which {expression} evaluates to false, not true,
       i.e. invert the sense of the filter expression.
    -q Does not include the modified record in the output stream.
       Useful for when all desired output is in begin and/or end blocks.
    -S and -F: There are no-ops in Miller 6 and above, since now type-inferencing is done
       by the record-readers before filter/put is executed. Supported as no-op pass-through
       flags for backward compatibility.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Parser-info options:
    -w Print warnings about things like uninitialized variables.
    -W Same as -w, but exit the process if there are any warnings.
    -p Prints the expressions's AST (abstract syntax tree), which gives full
      transparency on the precedence and associativity rules of Miller's grammar,
      to stdout.
    -d Like -p but uses a parenthesized-expression format for the AST.
    -D Like -d but with output all on one line.
    -E Echo DSL expression before printing parse-tree
    -v Same as -E -p.
    -X Exit after parsing but before stream-processing. Useful with -v/-d/-D, if you
       only want to look at parser information.
    Examples:
      mlr --from example.csv put '$qr = $quantity * $rate'
    More example put expressions:
      If-statements:
        'if ($flag == true) { $quantity *= 10}'
        'if ($x > 0.0) { $y=log10($x); $z=sqrt($y) } else {$y = 0.0; $z = 0.0}'
      Newly created fields can be read after being written:
        '$new_field = $index**2; $qn = $quantity * $new_field'
      Regex-replacement:
        '$name = sub($name, "http.*com"i, "")'
      Regex-capture:
    	'if ($a =~ "([a-z]+)_([0-9]+)") { $b = "left_\1"; $c = "right_\2" }'
      Built-in variables:
        '$filename = FILENAME'
      Aggregations (use mlr put -q):
        '@sum += $x; end {emit @sum}'
        '@sum[$shape] += $quantity; end {emit @sum, "shape"}'
        '@sum[$shape][$color] += $x; end {emit @sum, "shape", "color"}'
        '
          @min = min(@min,$x);
          @max=max(@max,$x);

    Options:
    -h|--help Show this message.

  rename
    Usage: mlr rename [options] {old1,new1,old2,new2,...}
    Renames specified fields.
    Options:
    -r         Treat old field  names as regular expressions. "ab", "a.*b"
               will match any field name containing the substring "ab" or
               matching "a.*b", respectively; anchors of the form "^ab$",
               "^a.*b$" may be used. New field names may be plain strings,
               or may contain capture groups of the form "\1" through
               "\9". Wrapping the regex in double quotes is optional, but
               is required if you wish to follow it with 'i' to indicate
               case-insensitivity.
    -g         Do global replacement within each field name rather than
               first-match replacement.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Examples:
    mlr rename old_name,new_name
    mlr rename old_name_1,new_name_1,old_name_2,new_name_2
    mlr rename -r 'Date_[0-9]+,Date'  Rename all such fields to be "Date"
    mlr rename -r '"Date_[0-9]+",Date' Same
    mlr rename -r 'Date_([0-9]+).*,\1' Rename all such fields to be of the form 20151015
    mlr rename -r '"name"i,Name'       Rename "name", "Name", "NAME", etc. to "Name"

  reorder
    Usage: mlr reorder [options]
    Moves specified names to start of record, or end of record.
    Options:
    -e Put specified field names at record end: default is to put them at record start.
    -f {a,b,c} Field names to reorder.
    -b {x}     Put field names specified with -f before field name specified by {x},
               if any. If {x} isn't present in a given record, the specified fields
               will not be moved.
    -a {x}     Put field names specified with -f after field name specified by {x},
               if any. If {x} isn't present in a given record, the specified fields
               will not be moved.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Examples:
    mlr reorder    -f a,b sends input record "d=4,b=2,a=1,c=3" to "a=1,b=2,d=4,c=3".
    mlr reorder -e -f a,b sends input record "d=4,b=2,a=1,c=3" to "d=4,c=3,a=1,b=2".

  repeat
    Usage: mlr repeat [options]
    Copies input records to output records multiple times.
    Options must be exactly one of the following:
    -n {repeat count}  Repeat each input record this many times.
    -f {field name}    Same, but take the repeat count from the specified
                       field name of each input record.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Example:
      echo x=0 | mlr repeat -n 4 then put '$x=urand()'
    produces:
     x=0.488189
     x=0.484973
     x=0.704983
     x=0.147311
    Example:
      echo a=1,b=2,c=3 | mlr repeat -f b
    produces:
      a=1,b=2,c=3
      a=1,b=2,c=3
    Example:
      echo a=1,b=2,c=3 | mlr repeat -f c
    produces:
      a=1,b=2,c=3
      a=1,b=2,c=3
      a=1,b=2,c=3

  reshape
    Usage: mlr reshape [options]
    Wide-to-long options:
      -i {input field names}   -o {key-field name,value-field name}
      -r {input field regex} -o {key-field name,value-field name}
      These pivot/reshape the input data such that the input fields are removed
      and separate records are emitted for each key/value pair.
      Note: if you have multiple regexes, please specify them using multiple -r,
      since regexes can contain commas within them.
      Note: this works with tail -f and produces output records for each input
      record seen.  If input is coming from `tail -f`, be sure to use
      `--records-per-batch 1`.
    Long-to-wide options:
      -s {key-field name,value-field name}
      These pivot/reshape the input data to undo the wide-to-long operation.
      Note: this does not work with tail -f; it produces output records only after
      all input records have been read.
    Examples:
      Input file "wide.txt":

  sec2gmtdate
    Usage: ../c/mlr sec2gmtdate {comma-separated list of field names}
    Replaces a numeric field representing seconds since the epoch with the
    corresponding GMT year-month-day timestamp; leaves non-numbers as-is.
    This is nothing more than a keystroke-saver for the sec2gmtdate function:
      ../c/mlr sec2gmtdate time1,time2
    is the same as
      ../c/mlr put '$time1=sec2gmtdate($time1);$time2=sec2gmtdate($time2)'

  sec2gmt
    Usage: mlr sec2gmt [options] {comma-separated list of field names}
    Replaces a numeric field representing seconds since the epoch with the
    corresponding GMT timestamp; leaves non-numbers as-is. This is nothing
    more than a keystroke-saver for the sec2gmt function:
      mlr sec2gmt time1,time2
    is the same as
      mlr put '$time1 = sec2gmt($time1); $time2 = sec2gmt($time2)'
    Options:
    -1 through -9: format the seconds using 1..9 decimal places, respectively.

  seqgen
    Usage: mlr seqgen [options]
    Passes input records directly to output. Most useful for format conversion.
    Produces a sequence of counters.  Discards the input record stream. Produces
    output as specified by the options
    Options:
    -f {name} (default "i") Field name for counters.
    --start {value} (default 1) Inclusive start value.
    --step {value} (default 1) Step value.
    --stop {value} (default 100) Inclusive stop value.
    -h|--help Show this message.
    Start, stop, and/or step may be floating-point. Output is integer if start,
    stop, and step are all integers. Step may be negative. It may not be zero
    unless start == stop.

  shuffle
    Usage: mlr shuffle [options]
    Outputs records randomly permuted. No output records are produced until
    all input records are read. See also mlr bootstrap and mlr sample.
    Options:

    -h|--help Show this message.

  sort
    Usage: mlr sort {flags}
    Sorts records primarily by the first specified field, secondarily by the second
    field, and so on.  (Any records not having all specified sort keys will appear
    at the end of the output, in the order they were encountered, regardless of the
    specified sort order.) The sort is stable: records that compare equal will sort
    in the order they were encountered in the input record stream.
    Options:
    -f  {comma-separated field names}  Lexical ascending
    -r  {comma-separated field names}  Lexical descending
    -c  {comma-separated field names}  Case-folded lexical ascending
    -cr {comma-separated field names}  Case-folded lexical descending
    -n  {comma-separated field names}  Numerical ascending; nulls sort last
    -nf {comma-separated field names}  Same as -n
    -nr {comma-separated field names}  Numerical descending; nulls sort first
    -t  {comma-separated field names}  Natural ascending
    -b                                 Move sort fields to start of record, as in reorder -b

    which is the same as:
      mlr sort -f a -f b -nr x -nr y -nr z

  sort-within-records
    Usage: mlr sort-within-records [options]
    Outputs records sorted lexically ascending by keys.

  sparsify
    Usage: mlr sparsify [options]
    Unsets fields for which the key is the empty string (or, optionally, another
    specified value). Only makes sense with output format not being CSV or TSV.
    Options:
    -s {filler string} What values to remove. Defaults to the empty string.
    -f {a,b,c} Specify field names to be operated on; any other fields won't be
               modified. The default is to modify all fields.
    -h|--help  Show this message.
    Example: if input is a=1,b=,c=3 then output is a=1,c=3.

  split
    Usage: mlr split [options] {filename}
    Options:
    -n {n}:      Cap file sizes at N records.
    -m {m}:      Produce M files, round-robining records among them.

    Exactly one  of -m, -n, or -g must be supplied.
    --prefix {p} Specify filename prefix; default "split".
    --suffix {s} Specify filename suffix; default is from mlr output format, e.g. "csv".
    -a           Append to existing file(s), if any, rather than overwriting.
    -v           Send records along to downstream verbs as well as splitting to files.
    -e           Do NOT URL-escape names of output files.
    -j {J}       Use string J to join filename parts; default "_".

    Same, but written to the /tmp/ directory.
      mlr --csv --from myfile.csv split -m 10 --prefix /tmp/test --suffix dat
    If the shape field has values triangle and square, then there will be split_triangle.csv and split_square.csv.
      mlr --csv --from myfile.csv split -g shape
    If the color field has values yellow and green, and the shape field has values triangle and square,
    then there will be split_yellow_triangle.csv, split_yellow_square.csv, etc.

    Example: mlr stats1 -a min,p10,p50,p90,max -f value -g size,shape
    Example: mlr stats1 -a count,mode -f size
    Example: mlr stats1 -a count,mode -f size -g shape
    Example: mlr stats1 -a count,mode --fr '^[a-h].*$' --gr '^k.*$'
            This computes count and mode statistics on all field names beginning
             with a through h, grouped by all field names starting with k.
    Notes:
    * p50 and median are synonymous.
    * min and max output the same results as p0 and p100, respectively, but use
      less memory.
    * String-valued data make sense unless arithmetic on them is required,
      e.g. for sum, mean, interpolated percentiles, etc. In case of mixed data,
      numbers are less than strings.
    * count and mode allow text input; the rest require numeric input.
      In particular, 1 and 1.0 are distinct text for count and mode.
    * When there are mode ties, the first-encountered datum wins.

  stats2
    Usage: mlr stats2 [options]
    Computes bivariate statistics for one or more given field-name pairs,
    accumulated across the input record stream.
    -a {linreg-ols,corr,...}  Names of accumulators: one or more of:
      linreg-ols Linear regression using ordinary least squares
      linreg-pca Linear regression using principal component analysis
      r2       Quality metric for linreg-ols (linreg-pca emits its own)

    -v             Print additional output for linreg-pca.
    -s             Print iterative stats. Useful in tail -f contexts, in which
                   case please avoid pprint-format output since end of input
                   stream will never be seen. Likewise, if input is coming from
                   `tail -f`, be sure to use `--records-per-batch 1`.
    --fit          Rather than printing regression parameters, applies them to
                   the input data to compute new fit fields. All input records are
                   held in memory until end of input stream. Has effect only for
                   linreg-ols, linreg-pca, and logireg.
    Only one of -s or --fit may be used.
    Example: mlr stats2 -a linreg-pca -f x,y
    Example: mlr stats2 -a linreg-ols,r2 -f x,y -g size,shape
    Example: mlr stats2 -a corr -f x,y

    -F           Computes integerable things (e.g. counter) in floating point.
                 As of Miller 6 this happens automatically, but the flag is accepted
                 as a no-op for backward compatibility with Miller 5 and below.
    -d {x,y,z}   Weights for EWMA. 1 means current sample gets all weight (no
                 smoothing), near under 1 is light smoothing, near over 0 is
                 heavy smoothing. Multiple weights may be specified, e.g.
                 "mlr step -a ewma -f sys_load -d 0.01,0.1,0.9". Default if omitted
                 is "-d 0.5".
    -o {a,b,c}   Custom suffixes for EWMA output fields. If omitted, these default to
                 the -d values. If supplied, the number of -o values must be the same
                 as the number of -d values.

    distinct_count([1,"1"]) is 1
    distinct_count([1,1.0]) is 2

     (class=math #args=1) Error function.

  erfc
     (class=math #args=1) Complementary error function.

  every
     (class=higher-order-functions #args=2) Given a map or array as first argument and a function as second argument, yields a boolean true if the argument function returns true for every array/map element, false otherwise. For arrays, the function should take one argument, for array element; for maps, it should take two, for map-element key and value. In either case it should return a boolean.
    Examples:
    Array example: every(["a", "b", "c"], func(e) {return $[e] >= 0})

With two arguments, the first argument is a map (maybe $*) and the second argument is the flatten separator. With three arguments, the first argument is prefix, the second is the flatten separator, and the third argument is a map; flatten($*, ".") is the same as flatten("", ".", $*). See "Flatten/unflatten: converting between JSON and tabular formats" at https://miller.readthedocs.io for more information.
    Examples:
    flatten({"a":[1,2],"b":3}, ".") is {"a.1": 1, "a.2": 2, "b": 3}.
    flatten("a", ".", {"b": { "c": 4 }}) is {"a.b.c" : 4}.
    flatten("", ".", {"a": { "b": 3 }}) is {"a.b" : 3}.

  float
     (class=conversion #args=1) Convert int/float/bool/string to float.

  floor
     (class=math #args=1) Floor: nearest integer at or below.

  fmtifnum
     (class=conversion #args=2) Identical to fmtnum, except returns the first argument as-is if the output would be an error.
    Examples:
    fmtifnum(3.4, "%.6f") gives 3.400000"
    fmtifnum("abc", "%.6f") gives abc"
    $* = fmtifnum($*, "%.6f") formats numeric fields in the current record, leaving non-numeric ones alone

  fmtnum
     (class=conversion #args=2) Convert int/float/bool to string using printf-style format string (https://pkg.go.dev/fmt), e.g. '$s = fmtnum($n, "%08d")' or '$t = fmtnum($n, "%.6e")'. Miller-specific extension: "%_d" and "%_f" for comma-separated thousands. This function recurses on array and map values.
    Examples:
    $y = fmtnum($x, "%.6f")
    $o = fmtnum($n, "%d")
    $o = fmtnum($n, "%12d")
    $y = fmtnum($x, "%.6_f")
    $o = fmtnum($n, "%_d")
    $o = fmtnum($n, "%12_d")

  fold
     (class=higher-order-functions #args=3) Given a map or array as first argument and a function as second argument, accumulates entries into a final output -- for example, sum or product. For arrays, the function should take two arguments, for accumulated value and array element. For maps, it should take four arguments, for accumulated key and value, and map-element key and value; it should return the updated accumulator as a new key-value pair (i.e. a single-entry map). The start value for the accumulator is taken from the third argument.
    Examples:
    Array example: fold([1,2,3,4,5], func(acc,e) {return acc + e**3}, 10000) returns 10225.
    Map example: fold({"a":1, "b":3, "c": 5}, func(acck,accv,ek,ev) {return {"sum": accv+ev**2}}, {"sum":10000}) returns 10035.

  format
     (class=string #args=variadic) Using first argument as format string, interpolate remaining arguments in place of each "{}" in the format string. Too-few arguments are treated as the empty string; too-many arguments are discarded.
    Examples:
    format("{}:{}:{}", 1,2)     gives "1:2:".
    format("{}:{}:{}", 1,2,3)   gives "1:2:3".
    format("{}:{}:{}", 1,2,3,4) gives "1:2:3".

  gmt2nsec
     (class=time #args=1) Parses GMT timestamp as integer nanoseconds since the epoch.
    Example:
    gmt2nsec("2001-02-03T04:05:06Z") = 981173106000000000

  gmt2sec
     (class=time #args=1) Parses GMT timestamp as integer seconds since the epoch.
    Example:
    gmt2sec("2001-02-03T04:05:06Z") = 981173106

  gssub
     (class=string #args=3) Like gsub but does no regexing. No characters are special.
    Example:
    gssub("ab.d.fg", ".", "X") gives "abXdXfg"

  gsub
     (class=string #args=3) '$name = gsub($name, "old", "new")': replace all, with support for regular expressions.

See also =~ and regextract. See also "Regular expressions" at https://miller.readthedocs.io.
    Examples:
    gsub("ababab", "ab", "XY") gives "XYXYXY"
    gsub("abc.def", ".", "X") gives "XXXXXXX"
    gsub("abc.def", "\.", "X") gives "abcXdef"
    gsub("abcdefg", "[ce]", "X") gives "abXdXfg"

     (class=system #args=0) Returns the hostname as a string.

  index
     (class=string #args=2) Returns the index (1-based) of the second argument within the first. Returns -1 if the second argument isn't a substring of the first. Stringifies non-string inputs. Uses UTF-8 encoding to count characters, not bytes.
    Examples:
    index("abcde", "e") gives 5
    index("abcde", "x") gives -1
    index(12345, 34) gives 3
    index("forêt", "t") gives 5

  int
     (class=conversion #args=1,2) Convert int/float/bool/string to int. If the second argument is omitted and the first argument is a string, base is inferred from the first argument's prefix. If the second argument is provided and the first argument is a string, the second argument is used as the base. If the second argument is provided and the first argument is not a string, the second argument is ignored.
    Examples:
    int("345") gives decimal 345 (base-10/decimal input is inferred)
    int("0xff") gives decimal 255 (base-16/hexadecimal input is inferred)
    int("0377") gives decimal 255 (base-8/octal input is inferred)

    nsec2localtime(1234567890123456789)    = "2009-02-14 01:31:30"        with TZ="Asia/Istanbul"
    nsec2localtime(1234567890123456789, 6) = "2009-02-14 01:31:30.123456" with TZ="Asia/Istanbul"

  null_count
     (class=stats #args=1) Returns the number of values in an array or map which are empty-string (AKA void) or JSON null. Returns error for non-array/non-map types. Values are stringified for comparison, so for example string "1" and integer 1 are not distinct.
    Example:
    null_count(["a", "", "c"]) is 1

  os
     (class=system #args=0) Returns the operating-system name as a string.

  percentile
     (class=stats #args=2,3) Returns the given percentile of values in an array or map. Returns empty string AKA void for empty array/map; returns error for non-array/non-map types. Please see the percentiles function for information on optional flags, and on performance for large inputs.
    Examples:
    percentile([3,4,5,6,9,10], 90) is 10
    percentile([3,4,5,6,9,10], 90, {"interpolate_linearly":true}) is 9.5
    percentile(["abc", "def", "ghi", "ghi"], 90) is "ghi"

  percentiles
     (class=stats #args=2,3) Returns the given percentiles of values in an array or map. Returns empty string AKA void for empty array/map; returns error for non-array/non-map types. See examples for information on the three option flags.
    Examples:
    Defaults are to not interpolate linearly, to produce a map keyed by percentile name, and to sort the input before computing percentiles:
      percentiles([3,4,5,6,9,10], [25,75]) is { "25": 4, "75": 9 }
      percentiles(["abc", "def", "ghi", "ghi"], [25,75]) is { "25": "def", "75": "ghi" }
    Use "output_array_not_map" (or shorthand "oa") to get the outputs as an array:
      percentiles([3,4,5,6,9,10], [25,75], {"output_array_not_map":true}) is [4, 9]
    Use "interpolate_linearly" (or shorthand "il") to do linear interpolation -- note this produces error values on string inputs:
      percentiles([3,4,5,6,9,10], [25,75], {"interpolate_linearly":true}) is { "25": 4.25, "75": 8.25 }
    The percentiles function always sorts its inputs before computing percentiles. If you know your input is already sorted -- see also the sort_collection function -- then computation will be faster on large input if you pass in "array_is_sorted" (shorthand: "ais"):
      x = [6,5,9,10,4,3]
      percentiles(x, [25,75], {"ais":true}) gives { "25": 5, "75": 4 } which is incorrect
      x = sort_collection(x)
      percentiles(x, [25,75], {"ais":true}) gives { "25": 4, "75": 9 } which is correct
    You can also leverage this feature to compute percentiles on a sort of your choosing. For example:
      Non-sorted input:
        x = splitax("the quick brown fox jumped loquaciously over the lazy dogs", " ")
        x is: ["the", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumped", "loquaciously", "over", "the", "lazy", "dogs"]
      Percentiles are taken over the original positions of the words in the array -- "dogs" is last and hence appears as p99:
        percentiles(x, [50, 99], {"oa":true, "ais":true}) gives ["loquaciously", "dogs"]
      With sorting done inside percentiles, "the" is alphabetically last and is therefore the p99:
        percentiles(x, [50, 99], {"oa":true}) gives ["loquaciously", "the"]
      With default sorting done outside percentiles, the same:
        x = sort(x) # or x = sort_collection(x)
        x is: ["brown", "dogs", "fox", "jumped", "lazy", "loquaciously", "over", "quick", "the", "the"]
        percentiles(x, [50, 99], {"oa":true, "ais":true}) gives ["loquaciously", "the"]
        percentiles(x, [50, 99], {"oa":true}) gives ["loquaciously", "the"]
      Now sorting by word length, "loquaciously" is longest and hence is the p99:
        x = sort(x, func(a,b) { return strlen(a) <=> strlen(b) } )
        x is: ["fox", "the", "the", "dogs", "lazy", "over", "brown", "quick", "jumped", "loquaciously"]
        percentiles(x, [50, 99], {"oa":true, "ais":true})
        ["over", "loquaciously"]

  pow

  qnorm
     (class=math #args=1) Normal cumulative distribution function.

  reduce
     (class=higher-order-functions #args=2) Given a map or array as first argument and a function as second argument, accumulates entries into a final output -- for example, sum or product. For arrays, the function should take two arguments, for accumulated value and array element, and return the accumulated element. For maps, it should take four arguments, for accumulated key and value, and map-element key and value; it should return the updated accumulator as a new key-value pair (i.e. a single-entry map). The start value for the accumulator is the first element for arrays, or the first element's key-value pair for maps.
    Examples:
    Array example: reduce([1,2,3,4,5], func(acc,e) {return acc + e**3}) returns 225.
    Map example: reduce({"a":1, "b":3, "c": 5}, func(acck,accv,ek,ev) {return {"sum_of_squares": accv + ev**2}}) returns {"sum_of_squares": 35}.

  regextract
     (class=string #args=2) Extracts a substring (the first, if there are multiple matches), matching a regular expression, from the input. Does not use capture groups; see also the =~ operator which does.
    Examples:
    regextract("index ab09 file", "[a-z][a-z][0-9][0-9]") gives "ab09"
    regextract("index a999 file", "[a-z][a-z][0-9][0-9]") gives (absent), which will result in an assignment not happening.

  regextract_or_else
     (class=string #args=3) Like regextract but the third argument is the return value in case the input string (first argument) doesn't match the pattern (second argument).
    Examples:
    regextract_or_else("index ab09 file", "[a-z][a-z][0-9][0-9]", "nonesuch") gives "ab09"
    regextract_or_else("index a999 file", "[a-z][a-z][0-9][0-9]", "nonesuch") gives "nonesuch"

  rightpad
     (class=string #args=3) Right-pads first argument to at most the specified length (second, integer argument) using specified pad value (third, string argument). If the first argument is not a string, it will be stringified first.

    rightpad("abcdefg", 10 , "XY") gives "abcdefgXY".
    rightpad("1234567", 10 , "0") gives "1234567000".

    sec2gmt(1234567890.123456)    = "2009-02-13T23:31:30Z"
    sec2gmt(1234567890.123456, 6) = "2009-02-13T23:31:30.123456Z"

  sec2gmtdate

    sec2localtime(1234567890.123456)    = "2009-02-14 01:31:30"        with TZ="Asia/Istanbul"
    sec2localtime(1234567890.123456, 6) = "2009-02-14 01:31:30.123456" with TZ="Asia/Istanbul"
    sec2localtime(1234567890.123456, 6, "Asia/Istanbul") = "2009-02-14 01:31:30.123456"

  select
     (class=higher-order-functions #args=2) Given a map or array as first argument and a function as second argument, includes each input element in the output if the function returns true. For arrays, the function should take one argument, for array element; for maps, it should take two, for map-element key and value. In either case it should return a boolean.
    Examples:
    Array example: select([1,2,3,4,5], func(e) {return e >= 3}) returns [3, 4, 5].
    Map example: select({"a":1, "b":3, "c":5}, func(k,v) {return v >= 3}) returns {"b":3, "c": 5}.

    Example:
    skewness([4,5,9,10,11]) is -0.2097285

  sort
     (class=higher-order-functions #args=1-2) Given a map or array as first argument and string flags or function as optional second argument, returns a sorted copy of the input. With one argument, sorts array elements with numbers first numerically and then strings lexically, and map elements likewise by map keys. If the second argument is a string, it can contain any of "f" for lexical ("n" is for the above default), "c" for case-folded lexical, or "t" for natural sort order. An additional "r" in that string is for reverse. An additional "v" in that string means sort maps by value, rather than by key. If the second argument is a function, then for arrays it should take two arguments a and b, returning < 0, 0, or > 0 as a < b, a == b, or a > b respectively; for maps the function should take four arguments ak, av, bk, and bv, again returning < 0, 0, or > 0, using a and b's keys and values.
    Examples:
    Default sorting: sort([3,"A",1,"B",22]) returns [1, 3, 20, "A", "B"].
      Note that this is numbers before strings.
    Default sorting: sort(["E","a","c","B","d"]) returns ["B", "E", "a", "c", "d"].
      Note that this is uppercase before lowercase.
    Case-folded ascending: sort(["E","a","c","B","d"], "c") returns ["a", "B", "c", "d", "E"].
    Case-folded descending: sort(["E","a","c","B","d"], "cr") returns ["E", "d", "c", "B", "a"].
    Natural sorting: sort(["a1","a10","a100","a2","a20","a200"], "t") returns ["a1", "a2", "a10", "a20", "a100", "a200"].
    Array with function: sort([5,2,3,1,4], func(a,b) {return b <=> a}) returns [5,4,3,2,1].
    Map with function: sort({"c":2,"a":3,"b":1}, func(ak,av,bk,bv) {return bv <=> av}) returns {"a":3,"c":2,"b":1}.
    Map without function: sort({"c":2,"a":3,"b":1}) returns {"a":3,"b":1,"c":2}.
    Map without function: sort({"c":2,"a":3,"b":1}, "v") returns {"b":1,"c":2,"a":3}.
    Map without function: sort({"c":2,"a":3,"b":1}, "vnr") returns {"a":3,"c":2,"b":1}.

KEYWORDS FOR PUT AND FILTER

  all
    all: used in "emit1", "emit", "emitp", and "unset" as a synonym for @*

  begin
    begin: defines a block of statements to be executed before input records
    are ingested. The body statements must be wrapped in curly braces.
      Example: 'begin { @count = 0 }'

  bool
    bool: declares a boolean local variable in the current curly-braced scope.
    Type-checking happens at assignment: 'bool b = 1' is an error.

  break
    break: causes execution to continue after the body of the current for/while/do-while loop.

  call
    call: used for invoking a user-defined subroutine.
      Example: 'subr s(k,v) { print k . " is " . v} call s("a", $a)'

  continue
    continue: causes execution to skip the remaining statements in the body of
    the current for/while/do-while loop. For-loop increments are still applied.

  do
    do: with "while", introduces a do-while loop. The body statements must be wrapped
    in curly braces.

  dump
    dump: prints all currently defined out-of-stream variables immediately
    to stdout as JSON.
    With >, >>, or |, the data do not go directly to stdout but are instead
    redirected.
    The > and >> are for write and append, as in the shell, but (as with awk) the
    file-overwrite for > is on first write, not per record. The | is for piping to
    a process which will process the data. There will be one open file for each
    distinct file name (for > and >>) or one subordinate process for each distinct
    value of the piped-to command (for |). Output-formatting flags are taken from
    the main command line.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q '@v[NR]=$*; end { dump }'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q '@v[NR]=$*; end { dump >  "mytap.dat"}'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q '@v[NR]=$*; end { dump >> "mytap.dat"}'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q '@v[NR]=$*; end { dump | "jq .[]"}'

  edump
    edump: prints all currently defined out-of-stream variables immediately
    to stderr as JSON.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q '@v[NR]=$*; end { edump }'

  elif
    elif: the way Miller spells "else if". The body statements must be wrapped
    in curly braces.

  else
    else: terminates an if/elif/elif chain. The body statements must be wrapped
    in curly braces.

  emit1
    emit1: inserts an out-of-stream variable into the output record stream. Unlike
    the other map variants, side-by-sides, indexing, and redirection are not supported,
    but you can emit any map-valued expression.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'emit1 $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'emit1 mapsum({"id": NR}, $*)'
    Please see https://miller.readthedocs.io://johnkerl.org/miller/doc for more information.

  emit
    emit: inserts an out-of-stream variable into the output record stream. Hashmap
    indices present in the data but not slotted by emit arguments are not output.
    With >, >>, or |, the data do not become part of the output record stream but
    are instead redirected.
    The > and >> are for write and append, as in the shell, but (as with awk) the
    file-overwrite for > is on first write, not per record. The | is for piping to
    a process which will process the data. There will be one open file for each
    distinct file name (for > and >>) or one subordinate process for each distinct
    value of the piped-to command (for |). Output-formatting flags are taken from
    the main command line.
    You can use any of the output-format command-line flags, e.g. --ocsv, --ofs,
    etc., to control the format of the output if the output is redirected. See also mlr -h.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'emit >  "/tmp/data-".$a, $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'emit >  "/tmp/data-".$a, mapexcept($*, "a")'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit @sums'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put --ojson '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit > "tap-".$a.$b.".dat", @sums'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit @sums, "index1", "index2"'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit @*, "index1", "index2"'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit >  "mytap.dat", @*, "index1", "index2"'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit >> "mytap.dat", @*, "index1", "index2"'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit | "gzip > mytap.dat.gz", @*, "index1", "index2"'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit > stderr, @*, "index1", "index2"'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emit | "grep somepattern", @*, "index1", "index2"'
    Please see https://miller.readthedocs.io://johnkerl.org/miller/doc for more information.

  emitf
    emitf: inserts non-indexed out-of-stream variable(s) side-by-side into the
    output record stream.
    With >, >>, or |, the data do not become part of the output record stream but
    are instead redirected.
    The > and >> are for write and append, as in the shell, but (as with awk) the
    file-overwrite for > is on first write, not per record. The | is for piping to
    a process which will process the data. There will be one open file for each
    distinct file name (for > and >>) or one subordinate process for each distinct
    value of the piped-to command (for |). Output-formatting flags are taken from
    the main command line.
    You can use any of the output-format command-line flags, e.g. --ocsv, --ofs,
    etc., to control the format of the output if the output is redirected. See also mlr -h.

      Example: mlr --from f.dat put --oxtab '@a=$i;@b+=$x;@c+=$y; emitf > "tap-".$i.".dat", @a'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@a=$i;@b+=$x;@c+=$y; emitf @a, @b, @c'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@a=$i;@b+=$x;@c+=$y; emitf > "mytap.dat", @a, @b, @c'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@a=$i;@b+=$x;@c+=$y; emitf >> "mytap.dat", @a, @b, @c'

      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@a=$i;@b+=$x;@c+=$y; emitf | "grep somepattern > mytap.dat", @a, @b, @c'
    Please see https://miller.readthedocs.io://johnkerl.org/miller/doc for more information.

  emitp
    emitp: inserts an out-of-stream variable into the output record stream.
    Hashmap indices present in the data but not slotted by emitp arguments are
    output concatenated with ":".
    With >, >>, or |, the data do not become part of the output record stream but
    are instead redirected.
    The > and >> are for write and append, as in the shell, but (as with awk) the
    file-overwrite for > is on first write, not per record. The | is for piping to
    a process which will process the data. There will be one open file for each
    distinct file name (for > and >>) or one subordinate process for each distinct
    value of the piped-to command (for |). Output-formatting flags are taken from
    the main command line.
    You can use any of the output-format command-line flags, e.g. --ocsv, --ofs,
    etc., to control the format of the output if the output is redirected. See also mlr -h.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '@sums[$a][$b]+=$x; emitp @sums'

  eprint
    eprint: prints expression immediately to stderr.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'eprint "The sum of x and y is ".($x+$y)'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'for (k, v in $*) { eprint k . " => " . v }'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put  '(NR % 1000 == 0) { eprint "Checkpoint ".NR}'

  eprintn
    eprintn: prints expression immediately to stderr, without trailing newline.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'eprintn "The sum of x and y is ".($x+$y); eprint ""'

  false
    false: the boolean literal value.

  filter
    filter: includes/excludes the record in the output record stream.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'filter (NR == 2 || $x > 5.4)'
    Instead of put with 'filter false' you can simply use put -q.  The following
    uses the input record to accumulate data but only prints the running sum
    without printing the input record:
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q '@running_sum += $x * $y; emit @running_sum'

  float
    float: declares a floating-point local variable in the current curly-braced scope.
    Type-checking happens at assignment: 'float x = 0' is an error.

  for
    for: defines a for-loop using one of three styles. The body statements must
    be wrapped in curly braces.
    For-loop over stream record:
      Example:  'for (k, v in $*) { ... }'
    For-loop over out-of-stream variables:
      Example: 'for (k, v in @counts) { ... }'
      Example: 'for ((k1, k2), v in @counts) { ... }'
      Example: 'for ((k1, k2, k3), v in @*) { ... }'
    C-style for-loop:
      Example:  'for (var i = 0, var b = 1; i < 10; i += 1, b *= 2) { ... }'

  func
    func: used for defining a user-defined function.
      Example: 'func f(a,b) { return sqrt(a**2+b**2)} $d = f($x, $y)'

  funct
    funct: used for saying that a function argument is a user-defined function.
      Example: 'func g(num a, num b, funct f) :num { return f(a**2+b**2) }'

  if
    if: starts an if/elif/elif chain. The body statements must be wrapped
    in curly braces.

  in
    in: used in for-loops over stream records or out-of-stream variables.

  int
    int: declares an integer local variable in the current curly-braced scope.
    Type-checking happens at assignment: 'int x = 0.0' is an error.

  map
    map: declares a map-valued local variable in the current curly-braced scope.
    Type-checking happens at assignment: 'map b = 0' is an error. map b = {} is
    always OK. map b = a is OK or not depending on whether a is a map.

  num
    num: declares an int/float local variable in the current curly-braced scope.
    Type-checking happens at assignment: 'num b = true' is an error.

  print
    print: prints expression immediately to stdout.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'print "The sum of x and y is ".($x+$y)'

      Example: mlr --from f.dat put  '(NR % 1000 == 0) { print > stderr, "Checkpoint ".NR}'

  printn
    printn: prints expression immediately to stdout, without trailing newline.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'printn "."; end { print "" }'

  return
    return: specifies the return value from a user-defined function.
    Omitted return statements (including via if-branches) result in an absent-null
    return value, which in turns results in a skipped assignment to an LHS.

  stderr
    stderr: Used for tee, emit, emitf, emitp, print, and dump in place of filename
    to print to standard error.

  stdout
    stdout: Used for tee, emit, emitf, emitp, print, and dump in place of filename
    to print to standard output.

  str
    str: declares a string local variable in the current curly-braced scope.

      Example: 'subr s(k,v) { print k . " is " . v} call s("a", $a)'

  tee
    tee: prints the current record to specified file.
    This is an immediate print to the specified file (except for pprint format
    which of course waits until the end of the input stream to format all output).
    The > and >> are for write and append, as in the shell, but (as with awk) the
    file-overwrite for > is on first write, not per record. The | is for piping to
    a process which will process the data. There will be one open file for each
    distinct file name (for > and >>) or one subordinate process for each distinct
    value of the piped-to command (for |). Output-formatting flags are taken from
    the main command line.
    You can use any of the output-format command-line flags, e.g. --ocsv, --ofs,
    etc., to control the format of the output. See also mlr -h.
    emit with redirect and tee with redirect are identical, except tee can only
    output $*.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'tee >  "/tmp/data-".$a, $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'tee >> "/tmp/data-".$a.$b, $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'tee >  stderr, $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'tee | "tr \[a-z\\] \[A-Z\\]", $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'tee | "tr \[a-z\\] \[A-Z\\] > /tmp/data-".$a, $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put -q 'tee | "gzip > /tmp/data-".$a.".gz", $*'

  true
    true: the boolean literal value.

  unset
    unset: clears field(s) from the current record, or an out-of-stream or local variable.
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'unset $x'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'unset $*'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put 'for (k, v in $*) { if (k =~ "a.*") { unset $[k] } }'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '...; unset @sums'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '...; unset @sums["green"]'
      Example: mlr --from f.dat put '...; unset @*'

    var: declares an untyped local variable in the current curly-braced scope.
      Examples: 'var a=1', 'var xyz=""'

  while
    while: introduces a while loop, or with "do", introduces a do-while loop.
    The body statements must be wrapped in curly braces.

  ENV
    ENV: access to environment variables by name, e.g. '$home = ENV["HOME"]'

  FILENAME
    FILENAME: evaluates to the name of the current file being processed.

  FILENUM
    FILENUM: evaluates to the number of the current file being processed,
    starting with 1.
