DESCRIPTION

	   -I  Only return the decimal portion of the final sum.

	   -c	   Print out the sum of each column.
	   -r	   Print out the sum of each row.

	   -x <n>  Specify a comma seperated list of columns to print.
	   -y <n>  Specify a comma seperated list of rows to print.

	   -s <string> Specify a string to use as a seperator for columns.
		       This defaults to be consecutive whitespace (s+).

	   -h  Help: You're looking at it.
	   -V  Increase verbosity.
	   -d  Debug mode.  For developers
	   -q  Quiet mode, don't print any warnings.

EXAMPLES
