Newbie: What does -e do?

[Jeffrey Ellis]

Hi

Just starting out, and have read through the man and several web page
tutorials, and I don¹t quite understand some of the options (guess I¹ll ask
about those as I get to them).

The first I see pretty often is ­e. Can someone explain what this does?

Thanks :)

All My Best,
Jeffrey
