    OPTIONS:
        -h, --help
                Display help information.
        --version
                Display script version.
        -v, --verbose
                Display debugging info.
        -e, --encrypt
                Encrypt output.
        -r, --recipient [ string pubkey ]
                Specify recipient. May be age or ssh pubkey.
                May be specified multiple times for multiple pubkeys.
                See https://github.com/FiloSottile/age
        -o, --output [ path dir ]
                Specify output directory to save logs. This option is required
                to save log data.
        -p, --process-string [ filter command ] [ output file extension] 
                Specify how to create and name a processed version of the stdin.
                For example, if stdin is 'nmea' location data:
                
                -p "gpsbabel -i nmea -f - -o gpx -F - " ".gpx"

                This option would cause the stdin to 'bklog' to be piped into
                the 'gpsbabel' command, interpreted as 'nmea' data, converted
                into 'gpx' format, and then appended to the output tar file
                as a file with a '.gpx' extension.
                This option may be specified multiple times in order to output
                results of multiple different processing methods.
        -l, --label [ string ]
                Specify a label to be included in all output file names.
                Ex: 'location' if stdin is location data.
        -w, --store-raw [ file extension ]
                Specify file extension of file within output tar that contains
                raw stdin data. The default behavior is to always save raw stdin
                data in a '.stdin' file. Example usage when 'bklog' receives
                'nmea' data from 'gpspipe -r':

                -w ".nmea"

                Stdin data is saved in a '.nmea' file within the output tar.
        -W, --no-store-raw
                Do not store raw stdin in output tar.
        -c, --compress
                Compress output with gzip (before encryption if enabled).
        -z, --time-zone
                Specify time zone. (ex: "America/New_York")
        -t, --temp-dir [path dir]
                Specify parent directory for temporary working directory.
                Default: "/dev/shm"
        -R, --recipient-dir [path dir]
                Specify directory containing files whose first lines are
                to be interpreted as pubkey strings (see '-r' option).
        -b, --buffer-ttl [integer]
                Specify custom buffer period in seconds (default: 300 seconds)
        -B, --script-ttl [time element string]
                Specify custom script time-to-live in seconds (default: "day")
                Valid values: "day", "hour"
    echoerr
