Use one, and only one of

of one range, or many ranges separated by commas. Selected input is written in
the same order that it is read, and is written exactly once. Each range is one
of:
- N
- N'th byte, character or field, counted from 1
- N-
- from N'th byte, character or field, to end of line
- N-M
- from N'th to M'th (included) byte, character or field
- -M

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
