+Usage: bo [xpath|css]
+
+If no attribute is given, innerHTML, text or a plain string
+will be returned (depending on what is matched)
+
+Options:
+  -o, --outer      get outer XML of the element
+  -a, --attribute
+  -l, --loglevel                                 [default: "silent"]
+```
+
+
+You can also optionally specify:
+
+- `--outer` to return the full outer markup of selected elements
+- `--attribute <string>` an attribute to extract from the selected element (which will only apply *if* what was selected is an element), e.g. `--attribute href`
+- `--loglevel <string>` to be more shouty, e.g `--loglevel verbose`
+
