-> [_r_c_f_i_l_e], --save-opts[=_r_c_f_i_l_e]
-
Save the option state to _r_c_f_i_l_e. The default is the _l_a_s_t
configuration file listed in the OOPPTTIIOONN PPRREESSEETTSS section, below.
-
-< _r_c_f_i_l_e, --load-opts=_r_c_f_i_l_e,--no-load-opts
-
Load options from _r_c_f_i_l_e.
The _n_o_-_l_o_a_d_-_o_p_t_s form will disable the loading
of earlier RC/INI files. _-_-_n_o_-_l_o_a_d_-_o_p_t_s is handled early,
out of order.
-
-v [{_v_|_c_|_n}], --version[=_{_v_|_c_|_n_}]
-
Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple
version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will
print the full copyright notice.
OPTION PRESETS
Any option that is not marked as _n_o_t _p_r_e_s_e_t_t_a_b_l_e may be preset
by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from
environment variables named:
NNTTPP__KKEEYYGGEENN__<> or NNTTPP__KKEEYYGGEENN
The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than)
the configuration files.
The _h_o_m_e_r_c files are "_$_H_O_M_E", and "_.".
If any of these are directories, then the file _._n_t_p_r_c
is searched for within those directories.
