2.4 Options

The options are either switches, or have a string or integer argument.

The verbosity option is an example of a switch: it can be given as --verbose to make the program verbose, or --noverbose to make it quiet.

Some options take suboptions. For example, the --obsdata option might be given as

--obsdata=ra=12:34:56,dec=-10:0:0

There are no optional arguments: if an option is documented as having an argument (that is, if it is not a switch), an argument must be provided. The defaults documented below apply only if the option is not supplied.
