This is the same as the default output format but also ensures the same number of fields are output for each line. Missing fields are replaced with the ‘-e’ option and extra fields are discarded. even after reading down to here, hasn't tipped the user off that it is talking about the output format! It's its turn up to bat but it's still drinking coffee in the bullpen. In fact FIELD-LIST vs FORMAT make the user double check that they are actually looking at the same commands' documentation.
