=head1 NAME

Catmandu::Exporter::TSV - a tab-delimited TSV exporter

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # From the command line

    $ catmandu convert JSON to TSV --fields "id,title,year" < data.json

    # In a Perl script

    use Catmandu;

    my $exporter = Catmandu->exporter(
                'TSV',
                fix => 'myfix.txt',
                header => 1);

    $exporter->fields("f1,f2,f3");
    $exporter->fields([qw(f1 f2 f3)]);

    $exporter->add_many($arrayref);
    $exporter->add_many($iterator);
    $exporter->add_many(sub { });

    $exporter->add($hashref);

    printf "exported %d objects\n" , $exporter->count;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This C<Catmandu::Exporter> exports items as rows with tab-separated values
(TSV). A header line with field names will be included if option C<header> is
set. See L<Catmandu::TabularExporter> on how to configure the field mapping
and column names. Newlines and tabulator values in field values are escaped
as C<\n>, C<\r>, and C<\t>.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

=over

=item file

Write output to a local file given by its path or file handle.  Alternatively a
scalar reference can be passed to write to a string and a code reference can be
used to write to a callback function.

=item fh

Write the output to an L<IO::Handle>. If not specified,
L<Catmandu::Util::io|Catmandu::Util/IO-functions> is used to create the output
handle from the C<file> argument or by using STDOUT.

=item fix

An ARRAY of one or more fixes or file scripts to be applied to exported items.

=item encoding

Binmode of the output stream C<fh>. Set to "C<:utf8>" by default.

=item fields

See L<Catmandu::TabularExporter>.

=item columns

See L<Catmandu::TabularExporter>.

=item header

Include a header line with column names. Enabled by default.

=item sep_char

Column separator (C<tab> by default)
