29 -b byte-list Print only the bytes in positions listed
31 Tabs and backspaces are treated like any
32 other character; they take up 1 byte.
34 --characters=character-list
35 -c character-list Print only characters in positions listed
37 The same as -b for now, but
38 internationalization will change that.
39 Tabs and backspaces are treated like any
40 other character; they take up 1 character.
43 -f field-list Print only the fields listed in FIELD-LIST.
44 Fields are separated by a TAB by default.
47 -d delim For -f, fields are separated by the first
48 character in DELIM instead of TAB.
50 -n Do not split multibyte chars (no-op for now).
53 -s For -f, do not print lines that do not contain
54 the field separator character.
56 The BYTE-LIST, CHARACTER-LIST, and FIELD-LIST are one or more numbers
57 or ranges separated by commas. The first byte, character, and field
