       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.  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.
