# csv
Use the `csv` InSpec audit resource to test configuration data in a CSV file.
<br>
## Syntax
A `csv` resource block declares the configuration data to be tested:
describe csv('file') do
its('name') { should cmp 'foo' }
end
where
* `'file'` is the path to a CSV file
* `name` is a configuration setting in a CSV file
* `should eq 'foo'` tests a value of `name` as read from a CSV file versus the value declared in the test
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test a CSV file
describe csv('some_file.csv') do
its('setting') { should eq 1 }
end
<br>
## Property Examples
### name
The `name` property tests the value of `name` as read from a CSV file compared to the value declared in the test.
its('name') { should cmp 'foo' }
