======================================

.. warning::

   This page was autogenerated from command-line parser. It shouldn't be 1:1
   conversion, because it would add little value. Please revise it and add
   more descriptive help, which normally won't fit in standard ``--help``
   option.

   After rewrite, please remove this admonition.
