-b  list
       Cut  based  on  a  list  of bytes. Each selected byte shall be output unless the -n option is also
       specified. It shall not be an error to select bytes not present in the input line.

-c  list
       Cut based on a list of characters. Each selected character shall be output. It  shall  not  be  an
       error to select characters not present in the input line.

-d  delim
       Set the field delimiter to the character delim. The default is the <tab>.

-f  list
       Cut  based  on a list of fields, assumed to be separated in the file by a delimiter character (see
       -d). Each selected field shall be output. Output fields shall be separated by a single  occurrence
       of  the  field delimiter character. Lines with no field delimiters shall be passed through intact,
       unless -s is specified. It shall not be an error to select fields not present in the input line.

-n     Do not split characters. When specified with the -b option, each element in list of the form  low-
       high (hyphen-separated numbers) shall be modified as follows:

        * If  the  byte selected by low is not the first byte of a character, low shall be decremented to
          select the first byte of the character originally selected by low. If the byte selected by high
          is  not  the last byte of a character, high shall be decremented to select the last byte of the
          character prior to the character originally selected by high, or zero  if  there  is  no  prior
          character.  If the resulting range element has high equal to zero or low greater than high, the
          list element shall be dropped from list for that input line without causing an error.

Each element in list of the form low- shall be treated as above with high set to the number of  bytes  in
the  current line, not including the terminating <newline>. Each element in list of the form - high shall
be treated as above with low set to 1. Each element in list of the form num (a single  number)  shall  be
treated as above with low set to num and high set to num.

-s     Suppress lines with no delimiter characters, when used with the -f option. Unless specified, lines
       with no delimiters shall be passed through untouched.
