| <p>The following command-line options are supported by all of the |
| programs described in this manual. |

| <dt><samp><span class="env">@</span><var>file</var></samp><dd>Read command-line options from <var>file</var>. The options read are |
| inserted in place of the original @<var>file</var> option. If <var>file</var> |
| does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated |
| literally, and not removed. |
| |
| <p>Options in <var>file</var> are separated by whitespace. A whitespace |
| character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire |
| option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a |
| backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included |
| with a backslash. The <var>file</var> may itself contain additional |
| @<var>file</var> options; any such options will be processed recursively. |
