Many options can be specified on the command line. For all options appropriate default values are set, and so these options must usually be modified only for special purposes. For convenience and historical reasons, alias names are available for various options, which often correspond to the variable name used in the program. Table 11 summarizes the options, aliases and default values. In the following, the parameters will be described in more detail.
