CLI Cheatsheet

A one-page printable visual reference for the readstat CLI — subcommands, flags, Parquet compression options, parallelism, reader modes, column selection, metadata round-trips, and common workflows.

📄 Open the cheatsheet

The cheatsheet is intentionally high-level and complements (rather than replaces) the full CLI reference, which goes deeper on memory behaviour, parallel-write internals, and reading preserved metadata from Parquet/Feather output.

💡 The cheatsheet is also designed to print cleanly in landscape on a single page.
