DESCRIPTION
-----------
<key>::
A field name to sort on. Prefix `-` to sort in
descending order of the value. When unspecified,
- `refname` is used. More than one sort keys can be
- given.
+ `refname` is used. You may use the --sort=<key> option
+ multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
+ key.
<format>::
A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from the
`%09` to `\t` (TAB) and `%0a` to `\n` (LF).
<pattern>::
- If given, the name of the ref is matched against this
- using fnmatch(3). Refs that do not match the pattern
- are not shown.
-
---shell, --perl, --python, --tcl::
+ If one or more patterns are given, only refs are shown that
+ match againt at least one pattern, either using fnmatch(3) or
+ literally, in the latter case matching completely or from the
+ beginning up to a slash.
+
+--shell::
+--perl::
+--python::
+--tcl::
If given, strings that substitute `%(fieldname)`
placeholders are quoted as string literals suitable for
the specified host language. This is meant to produce
the object referred by the ref does not cause an error. It
returns an empty string instead.
+As a special case for the date-type fields, you may specify a format for
+the date by adding one of `:default`, `:relative`, `:short`, `:local`,
+`:iso8601` or `:rfc2822` to the end of the fieldname; e.g.
+`%(taggerdate:relative)`.
