\item{check.names}{default is \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE} then the names of the variables in the \code{data.table} are checked to ensure that they are syntactically valid variable names. If necessary they are adjusted (by \code{\link{make.names}}) so that they are, and also to ensure that there are no duplicates.}
\item{encoding}{ default is \code{"unknown"}. Other possible options are \code{"UTF-8"} and \code{"Latin-1"}. Note: it is not used to re-encode the input, rather enables handling of encoded strings in their native encoding. }
\item{quote}{ By default (\code{"\""}), if a field starts with a double quote, \code{fread} handles embedded quotes robustly as explained under \code{Details}. If it fails, then another attempt is made to read the field \emph{as is}, i.e., as if quotes are disabled. By setting \code{quote=""}, the field is always read as if quotes are disabled. It is not expected to ever need to pass anything other than \"\" to quote; i.e., to turn it off. }
\item{strip.white}{ default is \code{TRUE}. Strips leading and trailing whitespaces of unquoted fields. If \code{FALSE}, only header trailing spaces are removed. }
\item{strip.white}{ default is \code{TRUE}. If \code{TRUE}, strips leading and trailing whitespaces from unquoted \code{"character"} fields. \code{"Numeric"} fields are always stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces.}

\item{fill}{logical or integer (default is \code{FALSE}). If \code{TRUE} then in case the rows have unequal length, number of columns is estimated and blank fields are implicitly filled. If an integer is provided it is used as an upper bound for the number of columns. }
\item{blank.lines.skip}{\code{logical}, default is \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE} blank lines in the input are ignored.}
\item{key}{Character vector of one or more column names which is passed to \code{\link{setkey}}. Only valid when argument \code{data.table=TRUE}. Where applicable, this should refer to column names given in \code{col.names}. }
