It prints slice(s) out of a line of text, either by column numbers or (as
here) by field numbers, given a separator. Spend 5 minutes browsing the
man page or GNU text utilities manual. It's one of these things that
somehow comes in handy quite a lot, but not _quite_ enough to remember
its details. For example, this gets the CVS version number of a local
file:
grep cc-mode.el CVS/Entries | cut -d/ -f3
