autoview
Print the content of the pipeline as a table or list. It is the implied or default viewer when none is provided.
When reading a single value, a table or a list, autoview will attempt to view it.
When reading a string that originally comes from a source file it will attempt
to use textview.
When reading a binary file it will attempt to display its content as hexadecimal
numbers and the corresponding characters.
-h, --help
Display help message.
Examples
In all following examples autoview can be removed with no change in the output.
The use of autoview at the end of the pipeline is implied when no viewer is
explicitly used.
> which nu | get path | autoview
/home/me/.cargo/bin/nu
> ls | autoview

The style used by textview can be configured in config.toml.
