     --help

   Record selection options:
     -i, --case-insensitive
	    make strings case-insensitive in selection expressions.

     -t, --type=TYPE
	    operate on records of the specified type only.

     -e, --expression=RECORD_EXPR

     If no FILE is specified then the command acts like a  filter,  getting  the
     data from standard input and writing the result to standard output.
