DESCRIPTION = """Dump the contents of one or more DynamoDB tables to the local filesystem.

Each table is dumped into two files:
  - {table_name}.metadata stores the table's name, schema and provisioned
    throughput.
  - {table_name}.data stores the table's actual contents.

Both files are created in the current directory. To write them somewhere else,
use the --out-dir parameter (the target directory will be created if needed).
