--exclude

**New in Django development version**

Exclude a specific application from the applications whose contents is

output. For example, to specifically exclude the `auth` application from

the output, you would call::

	django-admin.py dumpdata --exclude=auth

If you want to exclude multiple applications, use multiple ``--exclude``

directives::

	django-admin.py dumpdata --exclude=auth --exclude=contenttype

--format
