20              deletion is violating record restrictions.

23              don't use external descriptors.
24
25       --verbose

35              make strings case-insensitive in selection expressions.
36
37       -t, --type=TYPE
38              operate on records of the specified type only.

47              select specific records by position, with ranges.
48
49       -m, --random=NUM
50              select a given number of random records.
51
52       If  no  FILE  is specified then the command acts like a filter, getting
53       the data from standard input and writing the result to standard output.
