Dump the metadata from a DICOM series as text.  If only a few
attributes are to be dumped, then their tags can be given with "\-k"
(the "\-k" option can be repeated as many times as needed).  Tags can
given in hexadecimal GGGG,EEEE format, or in text format as specified
in the DICOM dictionary.  Alternately, the tags can be listed in a
query file given with the "\-q" option (one tag per line).
Attributes nested within sequences can be specified by giving a tag
path e.g. "\-k Tag1/Tag2/Tag3".  Either a forward slash or a backslash
can be used to separate the components of the path.
