=head1 NAME

B<gettab> - select table rows, based on attribute criteria, and display specific attributes.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<gettab> [B<-H> | B<--with-fieldname>] I<key=value,...  table.attribute ...>

B<gettab> [B<-?> | B<-h> | B<--help>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<gettab> command uses the specified key values to select a row in each of the tables requested.
For each selected row, the specified attributes are displayed.  The B<gettab> command can be used instead
of B<nodels> for tables that are not keyed by nodename (e.g. the B<site> table), or to select rows based
on an attribute value other than nodename.
