- -v
- Show more information.
- -o
- Overwrite destination file.
- -R RANGE

- Do not do a recursive copy. Default is to do it.
- --dest-title=title
- Title for the new file (if not specified, the source is copied).
- --dont-copy-userattrs
- Do not copy the user attrs (default is to do it).
- --overwrite-nodes
- Overwrite destination nodes if they exist. Default is not to overwrite
them.
- --complevel=(0-9)
- Set a compression level (0 for no compression, which is the default).
- --complib=lib
- Set the compression library to be used during the copy. lib can be
set to "zlib", "lzo", "ucl" or
"bzip2". Defaults to "zlib".
- --shuffle=(0|1)
- Activate or not the shuffling filter (default is active if
complevel>0).
- --fletcher32=(0|1)
- Whether to activate or not the fletcher32 filter (not active by
default).
- --keep-source-filters
- Use the original filters in source files. The default is not doing that if
any of --complevel, --complib, --shuffle or --fletcher32 option is
specified.
- --upgrade-flavors
- When repacking PyTables 1.x files, the flavor of leaves will be unset.
With this, such a leaves will be serialized as objects with the internal
