join merges two sorted files on a common key column: -1 1 and -2 1 name the key as column 1 of each file, and -t, declares the comma delimiter. Both inputs must be pre-sorted on the key or the join silently misses matches. This is the classic text-tools join, distinct from CSV-aware tools like xsv join. The output combines matching rows into one line.
