gnu_style
An object of class list
of length 3.
Functions for enabling GNU-style command-line options. GNU-style options
are characterized by a single dash (-
) before single character
option flags and a double dash (--
) before multiple character
option flags.
By convention, gnu style options flags must begin with a letter; if numbers were allowed option flags would be ambiguous with negative option values.
