Have a template CSV built into the tool so that it will be of the correct 'structure/format' to be converted into an SBOM

It is a a bit of guess work to know what the columns are for a CSV to be able to create a valid SBOM.

What I have done is take a valid SBOM, use the utility to create a CSV and then delete the contents and populate it with data I want in an SBOM.

If there was an entry for downloading a pre-formatted CSV with the necessary columns, it would make this significantly easier.

e.g. something like

cyclonedx --download-csv-template
