+function called @code{GetOptions()}.  It parses the command line from
address@hidden, recognizing and removing specified options and their possible
+values.
+
+This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, with GNU
+extensions.  In general, this means that options have long names instead of
+single letters, and are introduced with a double dash \"--\".  Support for
+bundling of command line options, as was the case with the more traditional
+single-letter approach, is provided but not enabled by default.")
