      Description

      On macOS 10.12.6:

      $ mongoexport --help
      		 
      ...
      		 
        -k, --slaveOk                                   allow secondary reads if
      		 
                                                        available (default true)
      		 
                                                        (default: false)

      The presence of multiple default values also appears to affect type:

      $ mongoexport --help
      		 
      ...
      		 
            --type=<type>                               the output format, either
      		 
                                                        json or csv (defaults to
      		 
                                                        'json') (default: json)
