              Print the software version.

       Dump selected metadata from a DICOM directory to a csv file.

       For  each  attribute  to be extracted, the tag can be given with "-k" (the "-k" option can be repeated as
       many times as needed).  Tags can given in hexadecimal GGGG,EEEE format, or in text format as specified in
       the DICOM dictionary key.  Alternately, the tags can be listed in a query file given with the "-q" option
       (one tag per line).  Attributes nested within sequences can be specified by giving a tag  path  e.g.  "-k
       Tag1/Tag2/Tag3".   Either  a  forward  slash or a backslash can be used to separate the components of the
       path.  Private tags should be preceded by the private dictionary name in square brackets.

       If the same tag is given more than once with "-k" (or if the tag is listed multiple times  in  the  query
       file,  or  appears  in  both the query file and as a "-k" option), then its first appearance will set the
       column number that it appears in.  Also, with regards to the search, the value  specified  in  the  final
       appearance of the tag as an option will be the value used for the search.

       If  no  attributes are specified with either "-k" or "-q", then a default set of query attributes will be
       used.
