Description ↩

Outputs tabular data as a pretty, colorized table that always fits into the terminal.

Tabular data formats include CSV and its dialects, Arrow, Avro/IPC, Parquet, JSON Array & JSONL. Note that non-CSV formats require the "polars" feature.

Requires buffering all tabular data into memory. Therefore, you should use the 'sample' or 'slice' command to trim down large CSV data before formatting it with this command.

Color is turned off when redirecting or running CI. Set QSV_FORCE_COLOR=1 to override this behavior.

The color theme is detected based on the current terminal background color if possible. Set QSV_THEME to DARK or LIGHT to skip detection. QSV_TERMWIDTH can be used to override terminal size.
