Print out in parsable instead of human-readable format.
+
+If the \fIlist\fP argument is not given then the default backwardly compatible
+output is printed. The backwardly compatible format uses two commas to
+separate CPU cache columns. If no CPU caches are identified, then the cache
+columns are not printed at all.
+
+The \fIlist\fP argument is comma delimited list of the columns. Currently
+supported are CPU, Core, Node, Socket, Book and Cache columns. If the
+\fIlist\fP argument is given then always all requested columns are printed in
+the defined order. The Cache columns are separated by ':'.
+
+Note that the optional \fIlist\fP argument cannot be separated from the
+option by a space, the correct form is for example '\fB-p=cpu,node\fP' or '\fB--parse=cpu,node\fP'.
