##Eskil Plugin : Compare comma separated value (CSV) files
# Example file for a plugin.
# A plugin must start exactly like this one.
# The text after : is the summary you can get at the command line
# This plugin compares CSV files with some preprocessing available
# Example usage:
# eskil -plugin csv -plugininfo "-ignore {head3 head5} -key head2" -sep , \
# examples/dir*/csv1.txt
# A plugin must define this procedure to do the job.
# side: left or right
# chi: An input channel for reading the original file.
# cho: An output channel for writing the processed file.

# Look for parameters in info string

# a header line of column names
