+ "GNU Gengetopt is a program to generate a C/C++ function for parsing
+command-line options using the getopt_long function found in GNU
+libc, removing some of the tedium of this task for large programs
+that accept many options. The options parsed by the generated
+function may be in both short (e.g., \"-h\") and long (\"--help\")
+formats, as specified by the GNU coding standards. Additionally, the
+output of the standard options \"--help\" and \"--version\" is generated
+automatically.")
