+		<p>
+			A tool that converts relational data to a list of null-byte (<code>\0</code>) separated values.
+			Makes sense only for a single relation because boundaries between relations will be lost if there are more of them.
+			Also attribute names and types are lost by default.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			Is suitable for passing a single relation to <code>xargs -0 -nX</code> (where X is the attribute count)
+			or other command that accepts values separated by a null-byte.
