 * \brief GIS Library - Argument parsing functions.
 *
 * Parses the command line provided through argc and argv.  Example:
 * Assume the previous calls:
 *
 * \code
 *  opt1 = G_define_option() ;
 *  opt1->key        = "map",
 *  opt1->type       = TYPE_STRING,
 *  opt1->required   = YES,
 *  opt1->checker    = sub,
 *  opt1->description= "Name of an existing raster map" ;
 *
 *  opt2 = G_define_option() ;
 *  opt2->key        = "color",
 *  opt2->type       = TYPE_STRING,
 *  opt2->required   = NO,
 *  opt2->answer     = "white",
 *  opt2->options    = "red,orange,blue,white,black",
 *  opt2->description= "Color used to display the map" ;
 *
 *  opt3 = G_define_option() ;
 *  opt3->key        = "number",
 *  opt3->type       = TYPE_DOUBLE,
 *  opt3->required   = NO,
 *  opt3->answer     = "12345.67",
 *  opt3->options    = "0-99999",
 *  opt3->description= "Number to test parser" ;
 * \endcode
 *
 * G_parser() will respond to the following command lines as described:
 *
 * \verbatim
 * command      (No command line arguments)
 * \endverbatim
 *    Parser enters interactive mode.
 *
 * \verbatim
 * command map=map.name
 * \endverbatim
 *    Parser will accept this line.  Map will be set to "map.name", the
 *    'a' and 'b' flags will remain off and the num option will be set
 *    to the default of 5.
 *
 * \verbatim
 * command -ab map=map.name num=9
 * command -a -b map=map.name num=9
 * command -ab map.name num=9
 * command map.name num=9 -ab
 * command num=9 -a map=map.name -b
 * \endverbatim
 *    These are all treated as acceptable and identical. Both flags are
 *    set to on, the map option is "map.name" and the num option is "9".
 *    Note that the "map=" may be omitted from the command line if it
 *    is part of the first option (flags do not count).
 *
 * \verbatim
 * command num=12
 * \endverbatim
 *    This command line is in error in two ways.  The user will be told
 *    that the "map" option is required and also that the number 12 is
 *    out of range.  The acceptable range (or list) will be printed.
