Specifies a character to be used to represent the
null value for fixed-width output. Allowable
values are any printable character except for the
space character or any two byte hexadecimal
value. It can be represented in ascii or
hexadecimal form. The format for specifying a
hexadecimal value is 0xhh where hh represents
the hexadecimal digits. If the value is a meta
character (like * or | ) it must be enclosed in single
quotes. For example:
-nc '?' -nc 0x2c
N.A.

Specifies whether an existing task’s arguments
can be changed. Valid values are:
Y (yes, overwrite existing data)
N (no, do not overwrite existing data)
I (create a task if it does not exist, or change it if
it does exist.)
Use the I option with care because it could lead
to unexpected behavior if you intended to update
an existing task, but misspelled the task name. In
this case a new task would be created and the
existing task would not be updated as expected.
If you are changing an existing task configuration,
you must set the overwrite flag to I or Y.
