Hi --
What are the command line options that XForms accepts? The manual lists a
bunch (-debug, -name, -sync, etc) but there seem to be some secret ones.
I've been handling command line options in the recommended way, using
fl_initialize() followed by fl_get_app_resources(). All the XForms options
are processed before my own options, so it's important not to use options
that XForms is using. I'd like to use -x and -f, but both of these are
(apparently) undocumented secret XForms options. What's worse is that in
version 0.81 I could use -f, but now that I've just switched to 0.88, I
can't. That means that I have to tell my users to stop using -f and to start
using something else.
Are these options documented somewhere? Is there some way that I can
disable them? What options can I use without worrying that they'll be
preempted in a future release?
-x and -f appear to be identical, just printing XForms version information.
Printing the version is a useful thing, but wouldn't it be better to do
it via something like a -xformsversion option?
Thanks,
Steve
