By default the SQL script is written on standard output.

# [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS)

(Note that --skip-layers and --only-layers are mutually exclusive.)

[**--skip-layers**](#skip_layers)

[**-f** <*filename*>](#f)

Read the export file from the specified filename, rather than from standard input. **-h** Display usage information.
