.. option:: --out <path>, -o <path>

Specifies a directory where :program:`mongodump` will save the output
of the database dump. To output the database dump to standard output,
specify a ``-`` rather than a path.
By default, :program:`mongodump` will save output files in a
directory named ``dump`` in the current working directory.
Specifies a directory where :program:`mongodump` saves the output of
the database dump. By default, :program:`mongodump` saves output
files in a directory named ``dump`` in the current working directory.

To send the database dump to standard output, specify "``-``" instead
of a path. This can be useful as you can then redirect the output,
such as to gzip for compression. If you use this option,
:program:`mongodump` outputs only data and no metadata.
:program:`mongodump` does not output the metadata that normally would
be written to the ``metadata.json`` file.
