1 17 Common Options
1 *****************
1 
1 The following command-line options are supported by all of the programs
1 described in this manual.
1 
1 '@FILE'
1      Read command-line options from FILE.  The options read are inserted
1      in place of the original @FILE option.  If FILE does not exist, or
1      cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not
1      removed.
1 
1      Options in FILE are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
1      character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
1      option in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including
1      a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be
1      included with a backslash.  The FILE may itself contain additional
1      @FILE options; any such options will be processed recursively.
