SPECIAL OPTION TYPES
********************

Tool options use standard types (\ ``int``\ , \ ``string``\ , etc.) as well as
these special types:

time
 
 Time values are seconds by default.  For example, \ ``--run-time 60``\  means
 60 seconds.  Time values support an optional suffix: s (seconds),
 m (minutes), h (hours), d (days).  \ ``--run-time 1m``\  means 1 minute
 (the same as 60 seconds).
 

size
 
 Size values are bytes by default.  For example, \ ``--disk-space-free 1024``\ 
 means 1 Kibibyte.  Size values support an optional suffix: k (Kibibyte),
 M (Mebibyte), G (Gibibyte).
 

DSN
 
 See "DSN (DATA SOURCE NAME) SPECIFICATIONS".
 

Hash, hash, Array, array
 
 Hash, hash, Array, and array values are comma-separated lists of values.
 For example, \ ``--ignore-tables foo,bar``\  ignores tables \ ``foo``\  and \ ``bar``\ .
