Command Line Option syntax

The ordering of multiple options on the command line is not generally important.

gw -d/tmp/mydb -index is the same as gw -index -d/tmp/mydb

Multiple options may NOT be combined. And there must be a space between each option.

Right:

gw -y -g -a

Wrong:

gw -yga

Wrong:

gw -y-g-a

There must not be any space between an option and its parameter (if any).

Right:

gw -d/tmp/testdb

Wrong:

gw -d /tmp/testdb

Case is significant.

-h is different than -H

The URL(s) or SQL statement must be the last thing on the command line, after any options.
