SYNOPSIS
        nodetool [(-h <host> | --host <host>)] [(-p <port> | --port <port>)]
                [(-pp | --print-port)] [(-pw <password> | --password <password>)]
                [(-pwf <passwordFilePath> | --password-file <passwordFilePath>)]
                [(-u <username> | --username <username>)] snapshot
                [(-cf <table> | --column-family <table> | --table <table>)]
                [(-kt <ktlist> | --kt-list <ktlist> | -kc <ktlist> | --kc.list <ktlist>)]
                [(-sf | --skip-flush)] [(-t <tag> | --tag <tag>)] [--ttl <ttl>] [--]
                [<keyspaces...>]

OPTIONS
        -cf <table>, --column-family <table>, --table <table>

            The list of Keyspace.table to take snapshot.(you must not specify
            only keyspace)

        -p <port>, --port <port>
            Remote jmx agent port number

        -pp, --print-port
            Operate in 4.0 mode with hosts disambiguated by port number

        -pw <password>, --password <password>

        -pwf <passwordFilePath>, --password-file <passwordFilePath>
            Path to the JMX password file

        -sf, --skip-flush
