Commandline arguments

+ +A program in fptools should try follow the following rules for +commandline arguments: + +

The -v and --verbose options should be +used to generate verbose output (intended for the user). + +
The -d and --debug options should be +used to generate debugging output (intended for the developer). + +
The -? and --help options should be used +to display usage information on stdout. The program should exit +successfully afterwards. + +
The -V and --version options should be +used to output version information on stdout, which includes one line +of the form 'Program version +Major.Minor[.Patchlevel] ...'. The program +should exit successfully afterwards. +

+ +When an unknown commandline argument is encountered, the program +should display usage information on stderr and exit unsuccessfully. +
