SYNOPSIS

       cut OPTION... [FILE]...

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       -b, --bytes=LIST
	      select only these bytes

       -c, --characters=LIST
	      select only these characters

       -d, --delimiter=DELIM
	      use DELIM instead of TAB for field delimiter

       -f, --fields=LIST
	      select only these fields;  also print any line that contains no delimiter character, unless the -s option is specified

       -n     (ignored)

       --complement
	      complement the set of selected bytes, characters or fields

       -s, --only-delimited

       Use  one,  and only one of -b, -c or -f.  Each LIST is made up of one range, or many ranges separated by commas.  Selected input is written
       in the same order that it is read, and is written exactly once.	Each range is one of:

       N      N'th byte, character or field, counted from 1

       N-     from N'th byte, character or field, to end of line

       N-M    from N'th to M'th (included) byte, character or field

       -M     from first to M'th (included) byte, character or field

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
