I'm not sure if this is what you mean but....


sqlite> .help import
.import FILE TABLE       Import data from FILE into TABLE
   Options:
     --ascii               Use \037 and \036 as column and row separators
     --csv                 Use , and \n as column and row separators
     --skip N              Skip the first N rows of input
     -v                    "Verbose" - increase auxiliary output
   Notes:
     *  If TABLE does not exist, it is created.  The first row of input
        determines the column names.
     *  If neither --csv or --ascii are used, the input mode is derived
        from the ".mode" output mode
     *  If FILE begins with "|" then it is a command that generates the
        input text.
