+.Nm serd-filter
+.Op Fl hVv
+.Op Fl B Ar base
+.Op Fl I Ar syntax
+.Op Fl O Ar syntax
+.Op Fl b Ar bytes
+.Op Fl f Ar pattern_file
+.Op Fl k Ar bytes
+.Op Fl o Ar filename
+.Ar pattern
+.Op Ar input ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+scans for statements in RDF data.
+Its interface is similar to
+.Xr grep 1 ,
+except patterns are structural:
+instead of matching characters within a line,
+.Nm
+matches nodes within a statement.
+.Pp
+Data is read from files or standard input,
+and only those statements that match the pattern
+(or do not match the pattern, if
+.Fl v
+is given) are written.
+By default,
+the input syntax is guessed from the file extension,
+and line-based output is written to standard output.
+.Pp
+Patterns are written in NTriples or NQuads with an extension that allows variables like
+.Li ?some
+or
+.Li $thing .
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar input
+operands are processed in command-line order.
+If
+.Ar input
+is
+.Ar -
+or absent,
+.Nm
+reads from standard input.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -compact -width 3n
+.It Fl B Ar base
+Base URI, path, or
+.Cm rebase
+to use the output path.
+See
