4.3 Command Line Arguments
</H1><A NAME="4122"></A>
<P>
Each program requires certain arguments specific to its operation.
These are explained in the manual pages and in the usage messages.
Most programs are ``case-sensitive''; almost all options must start
with an upper-case letter. We have tried to choose letters of the
alphabet which stand for the argument so that they will be easy to
remember. Each argument specification begins with a hyphen
(except input file names; see below), followed by a letter, and
sometimes a number or character string immediately after the letter.
<I>Do not</I> space between the hyphen, letter, and number or string.
<I>Do</I> space between options. Example:
<P>
