+Show information about supported hardware drivers, input file
formats, output file formats, and protocol decoders.
.TP
\fB\-d, \-\-driver\fP <drivername>
A driver must always be selected (unless doing a global scan). Use the
-\fB-V\fP option to get a list of available drivers.
+.BR "\-L " ( "\-\-list-supported" ")"

.sp
Drivers can take options, in the form \fBkey=value\fP
separated by colons.

.BR \-\-input\-file ),
sigrok-cli attempts to autodetect the file format of the input file. Use the
-.B \-V
+.BR "\-L " ( "\-\-list-supported" ")"
option to see a list of available input formats.
.sp
The format name may optionally be followed by a colon-separated list of
.TP
.BR "\-O, \-\-output\-format " <formatname>
Set the output format to use. Use the
-.B \-V
+.BR "\-L " ( "\-\-list-supported" ")"
option to see a list of available output formats.
.sp
The format name may optionally be followed by a colon-separated list of
options, where each option takes the form
.BR "key=value" .
.sp
-Supported formats currently include
-.BR bits ,
-.BR hex ,
-.BR ascii ,
-.BR binary ,
-.BR vcd ,
-.BR ols ,
-.BR gnuplot ,
-.BR chronovu-la8 ,
-.BR csv ", and"
-.BR analog .

-The
+For example, the
.B bits
or
.B hex
effectively corresponds to
.BR 01 .
.br
-.BR "c" :
+.BR "e" :
Any kind of change on a pin (either a rising or a falling edge).
.sp
Not every device supports all of these trigger types. Use the \fB\-\-show\fP
This option allows the user to specify a comma-separated list of protocol
decoders to be used in this session. The decoders are specified by their
ID, as shown in the
-.B \-\-version
+.BR "\-L " ( "\-\-list-supported" ")"
output.
.sp
Example:
protocol using channel 1 as MISO signal for SPI, channel 5 as MOSI, channel 3
as CLK, and channel 0 as CS# signal.
.TP
-.BR "\-S, \-\-protocol\-decoder\-stack " <stack>
-This option allows the user to specify a protocol decoder stack, i.e.
-the way in which one protocol decoder's output gets piped into another
-protocol decoder. If not specified, the stack will be set up in the same
-order in which the protocol decoders were given with the
-.B \-\-protocol-decoders
-option.
-.sp
-The decoders are specified by their ID, as shown in the
-.B \-\-version
-output. In addition to the
-.B \-S
-option, all protocol decoders that are used in a stack, must also be specified
-(together with their options, if any) using the
-.B \-P
-parameter.
-.sp
-Example:
-.sp
- $
-.B "sigrok\-cli \-i <file.sr> \-P i2c:sda=4:scl=7,rtc8564"
-.br
-.B " \-S i2c,rtc8564"
-.sp
-In this example, the
-.B \-S
-option specifies that the output of the
-.BR i2c " decoder"
-is piped into the
-.BR rtc8564 " decoder,"
-i.e., the
-.BR rtc8564 " decoder"
-is stacked on top of the
-.BR i2c " decoder."
-.sp
-The respective protocol decoder options and channel name/number assignments
-must be given using the
-.B \-P
-option (you cannot specify them in the
-.B \-S
-option).
-.TP
.BR "\-A, \-\-protocol\-decoder\-annotations " <annotations>
By default, only the stack's topmost protocol decoder's annotation output is
shown. With this option another decoder's annotation can be selected for

Not every decoder generates binary output.

+.BR "\-\-protocol\-decoder\-samplenum
+When given, decoder annotations will include sample numbers, too.
+This allows consumers to receive machine readable timing information.
+.TP
.BR "\-l, \-\-loglevel " <level>
Set the libsigrok and libsigrokdecode loglevel. At the moment \fBsigrok-cli\fP
doesn't support setting the two loglevels independently. The higher the
