+    # @param has_header [Boolean]
+    #   Indicate if the first row of dataset is a header or not.
+    #   If set to false, column names will be autogenerated in the
+    #   following format: `column_x`, with `x` being an
+    #   enumeration over every column in the dataset starting at 1.
+    # @param columns [Object]
+    #   Columns to select. Accepts a list of column indices (starting
+    #   at zero) or a list of column names.
+    # @param new_columns [Object]
+    #   Rename columns right after parsing the CSV file. If the given
+    #   list is shorter than the width of the DataFrame the remaining
+    #   columns will have their original name.
+    # @param sep [String]
+    #   Single byte character to use as delimiter in the file.
+    # @param comment_char [String]
+    #   Single byte character that indicates the start of a comment line,
+    #   for instance `#`.
+    # @param quote_char [String]
+    #   Single byte character used for csv quoting.
+    #   Set to nil to turn off special handling and escaping of quotes.
+    # @param skip_rows [Integer]
+    #   Start reading after `skip_rows` lines.
+    # @param dtypes [Object]
+    #   Overwrite dtypes during inference.

+    #   - `Array`: All values equal to any string in this array will be null.
+    #   - `Hash`: A hash that maps column name to a null value string.
+    # @param ignore_errors [Boolean]
+    #   Try to keep reading lines if some lines yield errors.
+    #   First try `infer_schema_length: 0` to read all columns as
+    #   `:str` to check which values might cause an issue.
+    # @param parse_dates [Boolean]
+    #   Try to automatically parse dates. If this does not succeed,
+    #   the column remains of data type `:str`.

+    #   Number of threads to use in csv parsing.
+    #   Defaults to the number of physical cpu's of your system.

+    #   Modify this to change performance.

+    #   During multi-threaded parsing, an upper bound of `n_rows`
+    #   rows cannot be guaranteed.
+    # @param encoding ["utf8", "utf8-lossy"]
+    #   Lossy means that invalid utf8 values are replaced with `�`
+    #   characters. When using other encodings than `utf8` or
+    #   `utf8-lossy`, the input is first decoded im memory with
+    #   python.
+    # @param low_memory [Boolean]
+    #   Reduce memory usage at expense of performance.
+    # @param rechunk [Boolean]
+    #   Make sure that all columns are contiguous in memory by
+    #   aggregating the chunks into a single array.
+    # @param storage_options [Hash]
+    #   Extra options that make sense for a
+    #   particular storage connection.

+    #   Skip this number of rows when the header is parsed.

+    #   Try to keep reading lines if some lines yield errors.

+    #   Try to automatically parse dates. If this does not succeed,
+    #   the column remains of data type `:str`.
+    # @param n_threads [Integer]
+    #   Number of threads to use in csv parsing.
+    #   Defaults to the number of physical cpu's of your system.
+    # @param infer_schema_length [Integer]
+    #   Maximum number of lines to read to infer schema.
+    #   If set to 0, all columns will be read as `:str`.
+    #   If set to `nil`, a full table scan will be done (slow).
+    # @param batch_size [Integer]
+    #   Number of lines to read into the buffer at once.
+    #   Modify this to change performance.
+    # @param n_rows [Integer]
+    #   Stop reading from CSV file after reading `n_rows`.
+    #   During multi-threaded parsing, an upper bound of `n_rows`
+    #   rows cannot be guaranteed.
+    # @param encoding ["utf8", "utf8-lossy"]
+    #   Lossy means that invalid utf8 values are replaced with `�`
+    #   characters. When using other encodings than `utf8` or
+    #   `utf8-lossy`, the input is first decoded im memory with
+    #   Ruby. Defaults to `utf8`.
+    # @param low_memory [Boolean]
+    #   Reduce memory usage at expense of performance.
+    # @param rechunk [Boolean]
+    #   Make sure that all columns are contiguous in memory by
+    #   aggregating the chunks into a single array.
+    # @param skip_rows_after_header [Integer]
+    #   Skip this number of rows when the header is parsed.
+    # @param row_count_name [String]
+    #   If not nil, this will insert a row count column with the given name into
+    #   the DataFrame.
+    # @param row_count_offset [Integer]
+    #   Offset to start the row_count column (only used if the name is set).
