.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-h\fR,\-\-help
Print this help message and exit
.TP
\fB\-p\fR,\-\-path regex
Report only paths matching this regex.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR,\-\-field regex
Report only fields matching this regex.
.TP
\fB\-t\fR,\-\-time n or ff..lf
Report only these times (n) or time ranges (ff..lf) for
\&'timeSamples' fields
.TP
\fB\-\-timeTolerance\fR tol
Report times that are close to those requested within this relative tolerance. Default: 0.000125
.TP
\fB\-\-arraySizeLimit\fR INT
Truncate arrays with more than this many elements.  If \fB\-1\fR, do not
truncate arrays.  Default: 0 for 'outline' output, 8 for
\&'pseudoLayer' output, and \fB\-1\fR for 'layer' output.
.TP
\fB\-\-timeSamplesSizeLimit\fR INT
Truncate timeSamples with more than this many values.  If \fB\-1\fR, do not
truncate timeSamples.  Default: 0 for 'outline' output, 8 for
\&'pseudoLayer' output, and \fB\-1\fR for 'layer' output.  Truncation
performed after initial filtering by \fB\-\-time\fR arguments.
.TP
\fB\-o\fR,\-\-out TEXT
Direct output to this file.  Use the 'outputFormat' for finer
control over the underlying format for output formats that are
not uniquely determined by file extension.
.TP
\fB\-\-outputType\fR validity|summary|outline|pseudoLayer|layer
Specify output format; 'summary' reports overall statistics,
\&'outline' is a flat text report of paths and fields,
\&'pseudoLayer' is similar to the usda file format but with truncated
array values and timeSamples for human readability, and 'layer' is
true layer output, with the format controlled by the 'out'
and 'outputFormat' arguments. Default: outline
.TP
\fB\-\-outputFormat\fR TEXT
Supply this as the 'format' entry of SdfFileFormatArguments for
\&'layer' output to a file.  Requires both 'layer' output and a
specified output file.
.TP
\fB\-\-sortBy\fR path|field
Group 'outline' output by either path or field.  Ignored for other
output types. Default: path
.TP
\fB\-\-noValues\fR
Do not report field values.
