<SECT1 ID="UNIXARGS">
<TITLE>UNIX Command Line Arguments for &prog;</TITLE>
<PARA>
As well as the listing file names on the command line, the following switches
are available to UNIX users:
</PARA>
<SECT2 ID="UNIXARGS-QUIET">
<TITLE><LITERAL>-quiet</LITERAL></TITLE>
<PARA>
This option tells &prog; to suppress normal informational messages while
running.
</PARA>
</SECT2>
<SECT2 ID="UNIXARGS-OPTIONS">
<TITLE><LITERAL>-options</LITERAL></TITLE>
<PARA>
This option instructs &prog; to read an extra file of options after reading
the standard options. (See <XREF LINKEND="OPTIONS-INTRO"> for more about the
&prog; options file.)
</PARA>
<PARA>
For example <LITERAL>-options ./new_options</LITERAL> will instruct &prog; to
read <LITERAL>new_options</LITERAL> in the current directory as an options
file.
</PARA>
</SECT2>
<SECT2 ID="UNIXARGS-FAST">
<TITLE><LITERAL>-fast</LITERAL></TITLE>
<PARA>
On Digital Unix (AKA Tru64) the <LITERAL>-fast</LITERAL> flag selects the
"fast" Java virtual machine, which usually gives &prog; a big speed boast.
This isn't on by default because the fast VM uses a lot more memory and it
isn't as reliable.
