+
+The following command-line options are supported by all of the
+programs described in this manual.
+
+@table @env
+@item @@@var{file}
+Read command-line options from @var{file}. The options read are
+inserted in place of the original @@@var{file} option. If @var{file}
+does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
+literally, and not removed.
+
+Options in @var{file} 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
+character with a backslash. The @var{file} may itself contain
+additional @@@var{file} options; any such options will be processed
+recursively.
+
+@item --help
+Display the command-line options supported by the program.
+
+@item --version
+Display the version number of the program.
