Yeah, the {-q|--query} specifies the mode. Then the "select-options"
and "query-options" refine how the query is performed. I suppose that
could be clearer. The description section in the man page does say:
One of the following basic modes must be selected: Query, Verify,
Signature Check, Install/Upgrade/Freshen, Uninstall, Initialize
Database, Rebuild Database, Resign, Add Signature, Set
Owners/Groups, Show Querytags, and Show Configuration
