 This utility is designed to be called by the ARGx parameters of a Nagios configuration as follows:
 
-  \$\$(\$USER1\$/env -n <var> [-t <default>] [-f <field>] [-d <delim>]
+  \$\$(\$USER1\$/env -n <var> [-t <default>] [-f <field>] [-d <delim>] [-u] [-H|-S|-C <suffix>]
 
 Where:
 
-  var     is the name of a NAGIOS_variable (see https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/4/en/macrolist.html) (case insensitive)
-  default is a default value if \$NAGIOS_var\$ is blank (case sensitive)
-  word    is an awk-compatible field number (potentially to use with <delim>)
-  delim   is an awk-compatible field delimiter (defaults to space)
+  var     the name of a case-insensitive NAGIOS_variable (defaults to "servicedesc")
+  default a default value if \$NAGIOS_var\$ is blank (case sensitive)
+  field   an awk-compatible field number (potentially to use with <delim>)
+  delim   an awk-compatible field delimiter (defaults to space, dash, and colon)
+  -u      Convert the output to uppercase (useful for further levels of indirection)
+  suffix  Take var result and use the it to get NAGIOS__[HOST|SERVICE|CONTACT]<result><suffix>
 
 The value will always be trimmed of leading and/or trailing spaces/tabs.

+If -f is used, then the result will be as if the request were as follows, unless the field starts with a negative, in which case it will read from the last word forward:
 
   eche \$NAGIOS_var\$ | awk -F <delim> '{print $<field>}'
