Prints this help

--verbose

Verbose mode.

--confirm

Limits the search on bibliographic records with a user-specified WHERE clause.

Only the columns from the biblio table are available.

Fields to add to the bibliographic records.

Must be formatted as 'tag' $ 'subfield' = 'value'

For instance:

905$a=0/%Y will add a new field 905$a with the value '0/2019' (if run in 2019)

905$a=2/%Y/%b-%m/%d'will a a new field 905$a with the value '2/2019/Mar-03/13' if run on March 13th 2019

--unless-exists

Will only create the new fields if this field does not exist.

For instance, if --field='905$a=0/%Y' and --unless-exists='905$a' are provided, a 905$a will be created unless there is already one. If --unless-exists is not passed, a new 905$a will be created in any case.
