4.1.2.6 Comma-Separated Values

Tables can be written to the semi-standard comma-separated value (CSV) format, described in more detail in Section 4.1.1.7. This can be useful for importing into certain external applications, such as some spreadsheets or databases.

There are two variants:

CSV

The first line is a header which contains the column names.

CSV-noheader

No header line is emitted, all lines represent data rows.
