The Pecol (Pete's Columns) is a text-based format designed for handling structured data on the command line. It is similar to TSV, but adds some additional structure in the form of type annotations for each column.
The Pecol format is particularly well-suited for use on Linux systems, where it can be used in conjunction with various command line tools for data processing and analysis.
Each Pecol file starts with a magic string on the first line, followed by a header row and one or more data rows.
