CC are two delimiter characters used to construct logical page delimiters;
a missing second character implies ':'.  As a GNU extension one can specify
more than two characters, and also specifying the empty string (-d '')
disables section matching.

STYLE is one of:

  a      number all lines
  t      number only nonempty lines
  n      number no lines
  pBRE   number only lines that contain a match for the basic regular
         expression, BRE

FORMAT is one of:

  ln     left justified, no leading zeros
  rn     right justified, no leading zeros
  rz     right justified, leading zeros
