@@ -279,6 +280,23 @@ pingest.pl accepts the following command line options:
 --skip-display::
     Skip the selected reingest component.
 
+--attr::
+    This option allows the user to specify which record attributes to reingest.
+It can be used one or more times to specify one or more attributes to
+ingest.  It can be omitted to reingest all record attributes.  This
+option is ignored if the `--skip-attrs` option is used.
++
+The `--attr` option is most useful after doing something specific that
+requires only a partial ingest of records.  For instance, if you add a
+new language to the `config.coded_value_map` table, you will want to
+reingest the `item_lang` attribute on all of your records.  The
+following command line will do that, and only that, ingest:
++
+----
+$ /openils/bin/pingest.pl --skip-browse --skip-search --skip-facets \
+    --skip-display --attr=item_lang
