/*
 * define the shell's settable options
 *
 *	new options can be defined by adding them here,
 *	but they do nothing until code to implement them
 *	is added (using the "var name" field)
 */

/*
 * format is up to 5 columns... (followed by anything)
 * end of line comments can be introduced by ' #' (space/tab hash) to eol.
 *
 * The columns are:
 *	1. internal shell "var name"	(required)
 *	2. option long name
 *		if a single char, then no long name, and remaining
 *		columns shift left (this becomes the short name)
 *	3. option short name (single character name)
 *		if '-' or absent then no short name
 *		if neither long nor short name, line is ignored
 *	4. option set short name (name of option equiv class)
 *		if '-' or absent then no class
 *	5. default value of option
 *		if absent, default is 0
 *		only 0 or 1 possible (0==off 1==on) ("on" and "off" can be used)
 *
 * Data may be followed by any C preprocessor #if expression (incl the #if..)
 * (including #ifdef #ifndef) to conditionalise output for that option.
 * The #if expression continues until \n or next following '#'

// 'h' is standard, long name (trackall) is not

sflag	stdin		s		# read from standard input
// minusc		c		# command line option only.
