Example action table.upload

Good morning everyone. I'm looking for a fairly complete example of the table.upload action. There's no example in the SAS guide:
https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/caspg/cas-table-upload.htm

Thanks

In the documentation for this action it states:

Note:	The upload action cannot be run from CASL, Python, and other clients in the same way that other actions like loadTable are run. Each client provides a client-specific function or method for transferring data to the server that runs the upload action.

So which client application are you using? Is it a SAS program?

I don't understand what you mean by "The upload action cannot be run from CASL." It's an action included in the SAS guide; I need to be able to run it from code. The SAS Viya exam simulation also includes the following question:
Which action loads the cars.csv file from the casuser caslib into memory?

Select one:
a.
table.loadTable / table={caslib="casuser", path="cars.csv"};
b.
table.loadTable / caslib="casuser" , path="cars.csv";
c.
table.upload / caslib="casuser" , path="cars.csv";
d.
table.upload / table={caslib="casuser", path="cars.csv"};

As the documentation states, this action can not be run using Proc CAS; action table.upload ...; See the CASL UPLOAD statement for details.

As for the question you mentioned: Which action loads the cars.csv file from the casuser caslib into memory?

This is the table.loadTable action.
