[--format=(keyvalue|nul) | -z] [<key>...]
As stated in "CodingGuidelines:
Use spacing around "|" token(s), but not immediately after opening or
before closing a [] or () pair:
Do: [-q | --quiet]
Don't: [-q|--quiet]
Don't use spacing around "|" tokens when they're used to separate the
alternate arguments of an option:
Do: --track[=(direct|inherit)]
Don't: --track[=(direct | inherit)]
