NAME
     csv2yapet - convert CSV file to YAPET file

SYNOPSIS
     csv2yapet	[[-c]  |  [-h] | [-V]] | [[-p password] [-q] [-s separator]] src
     dst

DESCRIPTION
     Convert a CSV file src to an YAPET file dst. The default character for  de-
     limiting  the  fields is ',' (comma) unless specified otherwise on the com-
     mand line by providing the -s.

     Fields containing the field separator character have to be enclosed in dou-
     ble quotes (").

     In order to convert a double quote character it has to be preceded  by  an-
     other double quote character.

     The following table describes the fields of the source CSV file as expected
     by csv2yapet:
