rt-shredder - Script which wipes out tickets from RT DB

       adds to RT.  This script can also be used as example of usage of the shredder API.

--sqldump<filename>
       Outputs INSERT queries into a file for all shredded records.  This dump can be used to restore data after
       wiping out.

       By default rt-shredder creates files named <ISO_date>-XXXX.sql in the current directory.

   --no-sqldump
       Don't generate the SQL dump file.

       The SQL dump file provides you with a way to "undo" the removal of records from your RT database, if
       needed. Use this option only if you are sure you have a recent, valid database backup in case you need to
       recover data that may have been shredded in error.

   --object(DEPRECATED)
       Option has been deprecated, use plugin "Objects" instead.

   --plugin'<pluginname>[=<arg>,<val>[;<arg>,<val>]...]'
       You can use plugins to select RT objects with various conditions.  See also --plugin list and --plugin
       help options.

   --pluginlist
       Output list of the available plugins.

   --pluginhelp-<pluginname>
       Outputs help for specified plugin.

   --force
       Don't prompt with questions before shredding objects.
