ftcsv is a fast csv library written in pure Lua. It features two parsing modes, one for CSVs that can easily be loaded into memory (up to a few hundred MBs depending on the system), and another for loading files using an iterator - useful for manipulating large files or processing during load. It correctly handles most csv (and csv-like) files found in the wild, from varying line endings (Windows, Linux, and OS9), UTF-8 BOM support, and odd delimiters. There are also various options that can tweak how a file is loaded, only grabbing a few fields, renaming fields, and parsing header-less files!
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
