# ./script "fieldname: regex" "fieldname: regex" ... --
#	 "fieldname" "fieldname" ...
# Find all records matching the regex expressions, and output the
# 	requested fieldnames.
# The fieldnames can be upper or lowercase.  When outputing the
# 	fieldnames, the case used is the same as specified on the
#	cmd line.

# sample cmdline:
#
# dpkg-awk --sort "Package" "Status: .* installed$"  -- ^Description ^Conffiles

# --sort(-s) "<space separated list of fields to sort on>"
# --filename(-f) <filename to parse, default = /var/lib/dpkg/status>
# dpkg-awk [options] <regex expresion list> -- <output field list>

# <output field list>
# If the first char is "^", then it is a list of fields *NOT* to output,
# otherwise, it will output the listed fields.
