-doc: Display documentation in browser
-help: Display short help and exit
-help-full: Display full help and exit

ADVANCED OPTIONS

-cellSet name: Convert mesh subset corresponding to specified cellSet
-cellZone name: Convert mesh subset corresponding to specified cellZone
-debug-switch name=val: Specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)
-decomposeParDict file: Use specified file for decomposePar dictionary
-excludePatches wordRes: Specify single patch or multiple patches to exclude from writing. Eg, 'outlet' or '( inlet ".*Wall" )'
-faceSet name: Convert specified faceSet only
-faceZones wordRes: Specify single or multiple faceZones to write Eg, 'cells' or '( slice "mfp-.*" )'.
-fileHandler handler: Override the file handler type
-finiteAreaFields: Write finite area fields
-hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)): Per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option]
-info-switch name=val: Specify the value of a registered info switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)
-legacy: Write legacy format instead of xml
-lib name: Additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)
-nearCellValue: Use cell value on patches instead of patch value itself
-noFunctionObjects: Do not execute function objects
-opt-switch name=val: Specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)
-pointSet name: Convert specified pointSet only
-poly-decomp: Decompose polyhedral cells into tets/pyramids
-processor-fields: Write field values on processor boundaries only
-roots (dir1 .. dirN): Slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
-surfaceFields: Write surfaceScalarFields (eg, phi)
-with-ids: Additional mesh id fields (cellID, procID, patchID)
-with-point-ids: Additional pointID field for internal mesh
-doc-source: Display source code in browser
-help-compat: Display compatibility options and exit
-help-man: Display full help (manpage format) and exit
-help-notes: Display help notes (description) and exit
