       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
       too.
       -b, --suffix-format=FORMAT

   Each PATTERN may be:
       INTEGER
              copy up to but not including specified line number
       /REGEXP/[OFFSET]
              copy up to but not including a matching line
       %REGEXP%[OFFSET]
              skip to, but not including a matching line
       {INTEGER}
              repeat the previous pattern specified number of times
       {*}    repeat the previous pattern as many times as possible
