#
# == Description
#
# Welcome to the new and improved CSV.
#
# This version of the CSV library began its life as FasterCSV.  FasterCSV was
# intended as a replacement to Ruby's then standard CSV library.  It was
# designed to address concerns users of that library had and it had three
# primary goals:
#
# 1.  Be significantly faster than CSV while remaining a pure Ruby library.
# 2.  Use a smaller and easier to maintain code base.  (FasterCSV eventually
#     grew larger, was also but considerably richer in features.  The parsing
#     core remains quite small.)
# 3.  Improve on the CSV interface.
#
# Obviously, the last one is subjective.  I did try to defer to the original
# interface whenever I didn't have a compelling reason to change it though, so
# hopefully this won't be too radically different.
#
# We must have met our goals because FasterCSV was renamed to CSV and replaced
# the original library as of Ruby 1.9. If you are migrating code from 1.8 or
# earlier, you may have to change your code to comply with the new interface.
#
# == What's Different From the Old CSV?
#
# I'm sure I'll miss something, but I'll try to mention most of the major
# differences I am aware of, to help others quickly get up to speed:
#
# === CSV Parsing
#
# * This parser is m17n aware.  See CSV for full details.
# * This library has a stricter parser and will throw MalformedCSVErrors on
#   problematic data.
# * This library has a less liberal idea of a line ending than CSV.  What you
#   set as the <tt>:row_sep</tt> is law.  It can auto-detect your line endings
#   though.
# * The old library returned empty lines as <tt>[nil]</tt>.  This library calls
#   them <tt>[]</tt>.
# * This library has a much faster parser.
#
# === Interface
#
# * CSV now uses Hash-style parameters to set options.
# * CSV no longer has generate_row() or parse_row().
# * The old CSV's Reader and Writer classes have been dropped.
# * CSV::open() is now more like Ruby's open().
# * CSV objects now support most standard IO methods.
# * CSV now has a new() method used to wrap objects like String and IO for
#   reading and writing.
# * CSV::generate() is different from the old method.
# * CSV no longer supports partial reads.  It works line-by-line.
# * CSV no longer allows the instance methods to override the separators for
#   performance reasons.  They must be set in the constructor.
#
# If you use this library and find yourself missing any functionality I have
# trimmed, please {let me know}[mailto:james@grayproductions.net].
#
# == Documentation
#
# See CSV for documentation.
#
# == What is CSV, really?
#
# CSV maintains a pretty strict definition of CSV taken directly from
# {the RFC}[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt].  I relax the rules in only one
# place and that is to make using this library easier.  CSV will parse all valid
# CSV.
#
# What you don't want to do is feed CSV invalid data.  Because of the way the
# CSV format works, it's common for a parser to need to read until the end of
# the file to be sure a field is invalid.  This eats a lot of time and memory.
#
# Luckily, when working with invalid CSV, Ruby's built-in methods will almost
# always be superior in every way.  For example, parsing non-quoted fields is as
# easy as:
#
#   data.split(",")

#
# This class provides a complete interface to CSV files and data.  It offers
# tools to enable you to read and write to and from Strings or IO objects, as
# needed.
#
# == Reading
#
# === From a File
#
# ==== A Line at a Time
#
#   CSV.foreach("path/to/file.csv") do |row|
#     # use row here...
#   end
#
# ==== All at Once
#
#   arr_of_arrs = CSV.read("path/to/file.csv")
#
# === From a String
#
# ==== A Line at a Time
#
#   CSV.parse("CSV,data,String") do |row|
#     # use row here...
#   end
#
# ==== All at Once
#
#   arr_of_arrs = CSV.parse("CSV,data,String")
#
# == Writing
#
# === To a File
#
#   CSV.open("path/to/file.csv", "wb") do |csv|
#     csv << ["row", "of", "CSV", "data"]
#     csv << ["another", "row"]
#     # ...
#   end
#
# === To a String
#
#   csv_string = CSV.generate do |csv|
#     csv << ["row", "of", "CSV", "data"]
#     csv << ["another", "row"]
#     # ...
#   end
#
# == Convert a Single Line
#
#   csv_string = ["CSV", "data"].to_csv   # to CSV
#   csv_array  = "CSV,String".parse_csv   # from CSV
#
# == Shortcut Interface
#
#   CSV             { |csv_out| csv_out << %w{my data here} }  # to $stdout
#   CSV(csv = "")   { |csv_str| csv_str << %w{my data here} }  # to a String
#   CSV($stderr)    { |csv_err| csv_err << %w{my data here} }  # to $stderr
#   CSV($stdin)     { |csv_in|  csv_in.each { |row| p row } }  # from $stdin
#
# == Advanced Usage
#
# === Wrap an IO Object
#
#   csv = CSV.new(io, options)
#   # ... read (with gets() or each()) from and write (with <<) to csv here ...
#
# == CSV and Character Encodings (M17n or Multilingualization)
#
# This new CSV parser is m17n savvy.  The parser works in the Encoding of the IO
# or String object being read from or written to.  Your data is never transcoded
# (unless you ask Ruby to transcode it for you) and will literally be parsed in
# the Encoding it is in.  Thus CSV will return Arrays or Rows of Strings in the
# Encoding of your data.  This is accomplished by transcoding the parser itself
# into your Encoding.
#
# Some transcoding must take place, of course, to accomplish this multiencoding
# support.  For example, <tt>:col_sep</tt>, <tt>:row_sep</tt>, and
# <tt>:quote_char</tt> must be transcoded to match your data.  Hopefully this
# makes the entire process feel transparent, since CSV's defaults should just
# magically work for your data.  However, you can set these values manually in
# the target Encoding to avoid the translation.
#
# It's also important to note that while all of CSV's core parser is now
# Encoding agnostic, some features are not.  For example, the built-in
# converters will try to transcode data to UTF-8 before making conversions.
# Again, you can provide custom converters that are aware of your Encodings to
# avoid this translation.  It's just too hard for me to support native
# conversions in all of Ruby's Encodings.
#
# Anyway, the practical side of this is simple:  make sure IO and String objects
# passed into CSV have the proper Encoding set and everything should just work.
# CSV methods that allow you to open IO objects (CSV::foreach(), CSV::open(),
# CSV::read(), and CSV::readlines()) do allow you to specify the Encoding.
#
# One minor exception comes when generating CSV into a String with an Encoding
# that is not ASCII compatible.  There's no existing data for CSV to use to
# prepare itself and thus you will probably need to manually specify the desired
# Encoding for most of those cases.  It will try to guess using the fields in a
# row of output though, when using CSV::generate_line() or Array#to_csv().
#
# I try to point out any other Encoding issues in the documentation of methods
# as they come up.
#
# This has been tested to the best of my ability with all non-"dummy" Encodings
# Ruby ships with.  However, it is brave new code and may have some bugs.
# Please feel free to {report}[mailto:james@grayproductions.net] any issues you
# find with it.

class CSV
  # The version of the installed library.
  VERSION = "2.4.8"

  #
  # A CSV::Row is part Array and part Hash.  It retains an order for the fields
  # and allows duplicates just as an Array would, but also allows you to access
  # fields by name just as you could if they were in a Hash.
  #
  # All rows returned by CSV will be constructed from this class, if header row
  # processing is activated.

    # to be Arrays.  If one Array is shorter than the other, it will be padded

    # The optional +header_row+ parameter can be set to +true+ to indicate, via
    # CSV::Row.header_row?() and CSV::Row.field_row?(), that this is a header
    # row.  Otherwise, the row is assumes to be a field row.

  # This method opens an IO object, and wraps that with CSV.  This is intended
  # as the primary interface for writing a CSV file.
  #
  # You must pass a +filename+ and may optionally add a +mode+ for Ruby's
  # open().  You may also pass an optional Hash containing any +options+
  # CSV::new() understands as the final argument.
  #
  # This method works like Ruby's open() call, in that it will pass a CSV object
  # to a provided block and close it when the block terminates, or it will
  # return the CSV object when no block is provided.  (*Note*: This is different
  # from the Ruby 1.8 CSV library which passed rows to the block.  Use
  # CSV::foreach() for that behavior.)
  #
  # You must provide a +mode+ with an embedded Encoding designator unless your
  # data is in Encoding::default_external().  CSV will check the Encoding of the
  # underlying IO object (set by the +mode+ you pass) to determine how to parse
  # the data.   You may provide a second Encoding to have the data transcoded as
  # it is read just as you can with a normal call to IO::open().  For example,
  # <tt>"rb:UTF-32BE:UTF-8"</tt> would read UTF-32BE data from the file but
  # transcode it to UTF-8 before CSV parses it.
  #
  # An opened CSV object will delegate to many IO methods for convenience.  You
  # may call:
  #
  # * binmode()
  # * binmode?()
  # * close()
  # * close_read()
  # * close_write()
  # * closed?()
  # * eof()
  # * eof?()
  # * external_encoding()
  # * fcntl()
  # * fileno()
  # * flock()
  # * flush()
  # * fsync()
  # * internal_encoding()
  # * ioctl()
  # * isatty()
  # * path()
  # * pid()
  # * pos()
  # * pos=()
  # * reopen()
  # * seek()
  # * stat()
  # * sync()
  # * sync=()
  # * tell()
  # * to_i()
  # * to_io()
  # * truncate()

  # This constructor will wrap either a String or IO object passed in +data+ for

  # methods are delegated.  (See CSV::open() for a complete list.)  If you pass
  # a String for +data+, you can later retrieve it (after writing to it, for
  # example) with CSV.string().
  #
  # Note that a wrapped String will be positioned at the beginning (for
  # reading).  If you want it at the end (for writing), use CSV::generate().
  # If you want any other positioning, pass a preset StringIO object instead.
  #
  # You may set any reading and/or writing preferences in the +options+ Hash.
  # Available options are:
  #
  # <b><tt>:col_sep</tt></b>::            The String placed between each field.
  #                                       This String will be transcoded into
  #                                       the data's Encoding before parsing.
  # <b><tt>:row_sep</tt></b>::            The String appended to the end of each
  #                                       row.  This can be set to the special
  #                                       <tt>:auto</tt> setting, which requests
  #                                       that CSV automatically discover this
  #                                       from the data.  Auto-discovery reads
  #                                       ahead in the data looking for the next
  #                                       <tt>"\r\n"</tt>, <tt>"\n"</tt>, or
  #                                       <tt>"\r"</tt> sequence.  A sequence
  #                                       will be selected even if it occurs in
  #                                       a quoted field, assuming that you
  #                                       would have the same line endings
  #                                       there.  If none of those sequences is
  #                                       found, +data+ is <tt>ARGF</tt>,
  #                                       <tt>STDIN</tt>, <tt>STDOUT</tt>, or
  #                                       <tt>STDERR</tt>, or the stream is only
  #                                       available for output, the default
  #                                       <tt>$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR</tt>
  #                                       (<tt>$/</tt>) is used.  Obviously,
  #                                       discovery takes a little time.  Set
  #                                       manually if speed is important.  Also
  #                                       note that IO objects should be opened
  #                                       in binary mode on Windows if this
  #                                       feature will be used as the
  #                                       line-ending translation can cause
  #                                       problems with resetting the document
  #                                       position to where it was before the
  #                                       read ahead. This String will be
  #                                       transcoded into the data's Encoding
  #                                       before parsing.
  # <b><tt>:quote_char</tt></b>::         The character used to quote fields.
  #                                       This has to be a single character
  #                                       String.  This is useful for
  #                                       application that incorrectly use
  #                                       <tt>'</tt> as the quote character
  #                                       instead of the correct <tt>"</tt>.
  #                                       CSV will always consider a double
  #                                       sequence of this character to be an
  #                                       escaped quote. This String will be
  #                                       transcoded into the data's Encoding
  #                                       before parsing.
  # <b><tt>:field_size_limit</tt></b>::   This is a maximum size CSV will read
  #                                       ahead looking for the closing quote
  #                                       for a field.  (In truth, it reads to
  #                                       the first line ending beyond this
  #                                       size.)  If a quote cannot be found
  #                                       within the limit CSV will raise a
  #                                       MalformedCSVError, assuming the data
  #                                       is faulty.  You can use this limit to
  #                                       prevent what are effectively DoS
  #                                       attacks on the parser.  However, this
  #                                       limit can cause a legitimate parse to
  #                                       fail and thus is set to +nil+, or off,
  #                                       by default.
  # <b><tt>:converters</tt></b>::         An Array of names from the Converters
  #                                       Hash and/or lambdas that handle custom

  #                                       The conversion will fail if the data
