Description
Hey I have a large CSV I'm looking to break up into smaller chunks to perform an import. Is this functionality already available with csvcut or csvgrep. I was reviewing the docs but I didn't see any avenue to do it?
If this isn't currently possible I'd be happy to contribute it to the project.
Cheers

Research direction
Start by reviewing the csvcut and csvgrep command documentation and entry points to see how row selection is currently handled. Determine where an option to limit output rows belongs, then verify that the selected head, tail, or slice behavior works for large CSV imports and is documented.
