## OPTIONS
* `-z` - Means that the file is gzipped. This is detected automatically if the file extension if .gz, but can be useful when reading gzipped data from stdin (since there is no content based detection for gzip)
* `-H <N>` - Tells q to skip N header lines in the beginning of the file - Used naturally for skipping a header line. This can possibly be detected automatically in the future.
-* `-d` - Column/field delimiter. If it exists, then splitting lines will be done using this delimiter. If not provided, **any whitespace** will be used as a delimiter.
+* `-d` - Column/field delimiter. If it exists, then splitting lines will be done using this delimiter. If it doesn't, space will be used as the delimiter. If you need multi-character delimiters, run the tool with engine version 1 by adding `-E v1`. Using v1 will also revert to the old behavior where if no delimiter is provided, then any whitespace will be considered as a delimiter.
* `-D` - Column/field delimiter for output. If it exists, then the output will use this delimiter instead of the one used in input. Defaults to input delimiter if provided by `-d`, or space if not.
* `-t` - Shorthand flag for a tab delimiter, one header line format (Same as `-d $'\t' -H 1` - The $ notation is required so Linux would escape the tab...)
* `-f <F>` - Output-formatting option. If you don't like the output formatting of a specific column, you can use python formatting in order to change the output format for that column. See below for details
