<h3 class="section">1.2 Modes of Operation</h3>

<p>Apart from to the capability to print brief help messages and exit,
there are two main modes of operation, depending on which options
are specified on the command line before the virtual code file name. 
<a name="index-modes-19"></a>
<a name="index-modes-20"></a>For the purpose of choosing the mode of operation, the virtual
code filename is taken to be the first command line argument not
beginning with a dash. Other conventions relevant to application
specific parameters are detailed in <a href="Command-Line-Syntax.html#Command-Line-Syntax">Command Line Syntax</a>.
