imca-shipment-tool —
read and write IMCA-CAT SynchWeb shipment CSV files

imca-shipment-tool [-h] sort [-hiv] [-r file] [file ...]

The imca-shipment-tool program reads and writes IMCA-CAT SynchWeb shipment CSV files according to the specified command. The currently supported command is sort which will sort the shipment by container name and then by pin position.

By default, imca-shipment-tool reads a shipment from the standard input stream, processes it according to the specified command, and writes the output to the standard output stream.
