-f <0-2>, --format <0-2>

Determines the output format used.

Output format 0 displays the alias file as-is. The blacklist and whitelist files are ignored.

Output format 1 displays the aliases in human readable text and includes blacklist and whitelist info if applicable.

Output format 2 displays the alias, blacklist and whitelist files with field delimiters for easy parsing by another program. Uses options -d|--delimiter and -1|--strip-one.

The default output format is 1 (human readable).

-d <text>, --delimiter <text>

Used when output format is 2 (delimited). Fields will be delimited by <text>.

For pipe-delimited output, surround the pipe symbol with single or double quotes: '|' or "|".

For tab-delimited output, specify only the letter "t".

For comma-delimited output, fields containing an embedded comma will automatically be surrounded by double-quotes.

Default delimiter is a comma (",").

-1, --strip-one

Used when output format is 2 (delimited). If a number is exactly 11 digits and it begins with "1", strip the "1" before outputting it. This is to facilitate consistent sorting of the output for 10 digit numbers.

-a <file>, --alias <file>

Sets the name of the alias file.

Default:/usr/local/usr/local/etc/ncid/ncidd.alias

-b <file>, --blacklist <file>

Sets the name of the blacklist file.

Default:/usr/local/usr/local/etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist

-w <file>, --whitelist <file>

Sets the name of the whitelist file

Default:/usr/local/usr/local/etc/ncid/ncidd.whitelist
