-p key[:{s|d|i}],key[:{s|d|i}],...

-w key[:{s|d|i}]{=|!=}value,key[:{s|d|i}]{=|!=}value,...

Where clause. Messages are processed only if they match all the key/value constraints. A valid constraint is of type key=value or key!=value. For each key a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be specified. Default type is string. In the value you can also use the forward-slash character '/' to specify an OR condition (i.e. a logical disjunction) Note: only one -w clause is allowed.


-n namespace

All the keys belonging to namespace are printed.


-s key[:{s|d|i}]=value,key[:{s|d|i}]=value,...

Key/values to set. For each key a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be defined. By default the native type is set.
