+=head1 PARAMETER OPTIONS
+
+All these options have reasonable builtin defaults by can be used to
+adjust one or more parameters of the B<rc> facility.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-f>, B<--rcfile> I<file>
+
+=item B<-d>, B<--rcdir> I<dir>[C<:>I<dir>[...]
+
+=item B<-C>, B<--rcconf> I<file>[C<:>I<file>[...]] 
+
+=item B<-F>, B<--rcfunc> I<file>[C<:>I<file>[...]]
+
+=item B<-t>, B<--tmpdir> I<dir>
+
+Force the use of a particular temporary directory. By default B<rc>
+tries to use (in this order) C<$TMPDIR>, C<$TEMPDIR>, C<~/tmp> and
+C</tmp>.
+
+=item B<-r>, B<--raw>
+
+Control whether the output controlled by the options B<--config>,
+B<--help>, B<--version> and B<--verbose> are raw text or annotated with
+terminal control sequences for better readability. By default B<rc>
+automatically determines whether F<stdout> is connected to a terminal or
+not and uses terminal sequences in the output or respectively raw text
+output only.
+
+=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>
+
+Enables verbose messages on F<stdout>.
+
+=item B<-D>, B<--debug>
+
+Enables debugging messages on F<stderr>.
+

+
+=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS
+
+These options are mutually exclusive, i.e., you can specify only a
+single one to select the type of operation.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-x>, B<--exec>
+
+This is the default where all run-commands are executed in sub-shells.
+It expects exactly two non-option command line arguments: a I<package>
+name and a I<command> name.
+
+=item B<-p>, B<--print>
+
+Instead of (by default) executing the run-commands, print them to
+F<stdout> only.
+
+=item B<-e>, B<--eval>
+
+Instead of (by default) executing the run-commands in a sub-shell,
+return a command suitable for evaluation the run-commands in the
+current shell. Do not intermix this with option B<--print>, because
+B<--eval> prepares the run-commands in a temporary file and just
+outputs the necessary run and cleanup commands on F<stdout>. This is
+because most Bourne-Shell flavors dislike to C<eval> commands spanning
+multiple lines. So, B<--print> is for human readability and batch
+post-processing, while B<--eval> is for batch evaluation through the
+Bourne-Shell C<eval> command.
+
+This is usually used from within F<.profile> files to import the shell
+environment of the packages of an B<OpenPKG> hierarchy:
+
+ $ eval `@l_prefix@/etc/rc --eval all env`
+
+=item B<-q>, B<--query> 
+
+Query the current (still default or overridden) value of one or more
+run-command configuration variables (see rc-file section C<%config>).
+It expects exactly one non-option command line argument: a I<format>
+string. This is an arbitrary text string which can contain one or more
+B<OSSP var> variable specifications ("C<${>I<name>C<}>" in its simplest
+form).
+
+=item B<-c>, B<--config>
+
+=item B<-i>, B<--info>
+
+Prints a summary of the whole run-command environment of B<rc>
+and exits immediately.
+
+=item B<-h>, B<--help>
+
+Prints the B<rc> usage information and exits immediately.
+
+=item B<-V>, B<--version>
+
+Prints the B<rc> version and copyright information and exits immediately.
