                [-K SKIP_LINES] [-v] [-l] [--zero] [-V] [-g GROUPS]


                [-n GROUP_NAME] [--filenames]


                [FILE [FILE ...]]
Stack up the rows from multiple CSV files, optionally adding a grouping value.
positional arguments:


  FILE                  The CSV file(s) to operate on. If omitted, will accept


                        input as piped data via STDIN.
optional arguments:


  -h, --help            show this help message and exit


  -g GROUPS, --groups GROUPS


                        A comma-separated list of values to add as "grouping


                        factors", one per CSV being stacked. These are added


                        to the output as a new column. You may specify a name


                        for the new column using the -n flag.


  -n GROUP_NAME, --group-name GROUP_NAME


                        A name for the grouping column, e.g. "year". Only used


                        when also specifying -g.


  --filenames           Use the filename of each input file as its grouping


                        value. When specified, -g will be ignored.

If you redirect output to an input file like csvstack file.csv > file.csv, the file will grow indefinitely.
