    Skip=skip-list

    Specifies a list of keywords that determines where the output
    display begins. The keywords indicate the position in the backup
    file from which to start the dump. If you specify more than one
    type of Skip position, separate the options with a comma, and
    enclose the skip-list parameter in parentheses. You can specify
    the following three items in the skip-list parameter:

    o  Volumes=integer

       The number of volumes to ignore before starting. This option
       is ignored if the backup file does not reside on tape.

    o  Blocks=integer

       The number of blocks to ignore before starting. This option is
       ignored if the backup file does not reside on tape.

    o  Records=integer

       The number of records to ignore before starting. This option
       is valid regardless of whether the backup file resides on tape
       or disk.
