It is possible to specify the output format using the
`--output-format` parameter. The default format 'text' uses ASCII-art
to draw nice borders around tables. It additionally transforms some
values into human-readable text, for example:

- Unix epoch is displayed as ISO 8601 date string.
- Durations are displayed as week/day/hour/minute/second count, i.e `1d 5h`.
- Byte sizes value include units (`B`, `KiB`, `MiB`, `GiB`, `TiB`, `PiB`).
- Fractions are display as percentage, i.e. 1.0 is displayed as 100%.

You can also completely suppress output using option `--quiet`.
