                      NoSQL operator: tabletolist

Converts from NoSQL 'table' to 'list' format.

Usage: tabletolist [options]

Options:
    --input (-i) 'file'
      Read input from 'file' instead of STDIN.

    --output (-o) 'file'
      Write output to 'file' instead of STDOUT.

    --help (-h)
      Display this help text.

    --prefix (-p) 'string'
      Prefix each default output column name with 'string'.

    --trim (-t)
      Strip surrounding blanks from variable values.

    --no-header (-N)
      Do not print the leading newline. Used to produce a list
      that is to be appended to another.

    --no-footer (-F)
      Do not print the trailing newline. Used to produce a list
      that can be appended to.

    --chop (-C)
      Deprecated option, use '-N' instead.

    --chomp (-c)
      Deprecated option, use '-F' instead.

    --no-unescape (-n)
      Do not escape NoSQL special characters.

    --justify (-j)
      Align output as needed to make it look nicer. Note that the
      output stream will not be a valid NoSQL list anymore.
