- **-d**

- **-f filename**

  Specify the filename of template being dumped or created (single template).

- **-r template\[ ...\]**

  Delete template(s).

- **-s file\[ ...\]**

  Create/save/update template from the given *file*. Section, page and template name are derived from *file* name. If you supply a section and/or page and you're reading files out of a directory, those templates will be saved with those sections. If you want to read from a directory and not have your section or page changed, don't provide these arguments.

- **-O directory**

  Specify the directory where templates are saved and created. If omitted, default to ./

- **-P**

- **-S *section* \[ -P *page* \] \[ *template*\[ ...\] \] \]**

  Specify the *section*, *page* and *template* for listing and dumping functions. If *template*\[ ...\] is omitted, then it defaults to all templates in the section/page. If both page and section are defined, then it specifies the templates for a page and section. All other template fields should be modified via web interface.

- **-c template\[ ...\]**

  Compile *template* into Perl code for testing. Compiled template is saved as *template*.ttc in the destination directory.\
