def table_info(tbl, option='attributes', out=''):
    """
    Write summary information about column to the ``out`` filehandle.
    By default this prints to standard output via sys.stdout.

    The ``option`` argument specifies what type of information
    to include.  This can be a string, a function, or a list of
    strings or functions.  Built-in options are:

    - ``attributes``: basic column meta data like ``dtype`` or ``format``
    - ``stats``: basic statistics: minimum, mean, and maximum

    If a function is specified then that function will be called with the
    column as its single argument.  The function must return an OrderedDict
    containing the information attributes.

    If a list is provided then the information attributes will be
    appended for each of the options, in order.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from astropy.table.table_helpers import simple_table
    >>> t = simple_table(size=2, kinds='if')
    >>> t['a'].unit = 'm'
    >>> t.info()
    <Table length=2>
    name  dtype  unit
    ---- ------- ----
       a   int64    m
       b float64

    >>> t.info('stats')
    <Table length=2>
    name mean std min max
    ---- ---- --- --- ---
       a  1.5 0.5   1   2
       b  1.5 0.5 1.0 2.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    option : str, function, list of (str or function)
        Info option (default='attributes')
    out : file-like object, None
        Output destination (default=sys.stdout).  If None then a
        Table with information attributes is returned
