+                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.
