Support note (2026-09-05): this README is supplementary. The support record is the only capability authority; it separates native compatibility evidence from Wasm policy and smoke evidence. Options mentioned here but not promoted in that record are not compatibility guarantees.
Select fields or character positions from each line:
Options: -f LIST field list, -b LIST byte list, -c LIST character list(the latter two are identical under the fixed C-locale byte profile), -d CHAR fielddelimiter (default TAB), -s skip lines without the delimiter, and -zfor NUL-delimited records. Listsaccept N, N-M, N-, and -M, separated by commas; output preservesinput order.
An empty -d value is rejected because the delimiter must be one byte.Delimiter and -s options are rejected outside field mode.
