       This  manual  page  documents the GNU version of ccuutt.  ccuutt
       prints sections of each line of each input  file,  or  the
       standard	input if no files are given.  A file name of `-'
       means standard  input.	Which  sections	are  printed  is
       selected by the options.

   OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       The  _b_y_t_e_-_l_i_s_t,	_c_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r_-_l_i_s_t, and _f_i_e_l_d_-_l_i_s_t are one or
       more numbers or ranges (two numbers separated by	a  dash)
       separated by commas.  The first byte, character, and field
       are numbered 1.	Incomplete  ranges  may	be  given:  `-m'
       means  `1-m';  `n-'  means `n' through end of line or last
       field.

       _-_b_, _-_-_b_y_t_e_s _b_y_t_e_-_l_i_s_t
	      Print only the bytes in positions listed	in  _b_y_t_e_-
	      _l_i_s_t.   Tabs  and	backspaces  are treated like any
	      other character; they take up 1 byte.

       _-_c_, _-_-_c_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r_s _c_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r_-_l_i_s_t
	      Print only characters in positions listed in  _c_h_a_r_-
	      _a_c_t_e_r_-_l_i_s_t.   The	same as -b for now, but interna-
	      tionalization   will   change   that.    Tabs   and
	      backspaces  are  treated	like any other character;
	      they take up 1 character.

       _-_f_, _-_-_f_i_e_l_d_s _f_i_e_l_d_-_l_i_s_t
	      Print only the fields listed in _f_i_e_l_d_-_l_i_s_t.  Fields
	      are separated by a TAB by default.

       _-_d_, _-_-_d_e_l_i_m_i_t_e_r _d_e_l_i_m
	      For -f, fields are separated by the first character
	      in _d_e_l_i_m instead of by TAB.

       _-_n     Do not split multibyte characters (no-op for  now).

       _-_s_, _-_-_o_n_l_y_-_d_e_l_i_m_i_t_e_d
	      For  -f, do not print lines that do not contain the
	      field separator character.
