 * \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.

 * \brief Parse command line.
 *
 * The command line parameters <i>argv</i> and the number of
 * parameters <i>argc</i> from the main() routine are passed directly
 * to G_parser(). G_parser() accepts the command line input entered by
 * the user, and parses this input according to the input options
 * and/or flags that were defined by the programmer.
 *
 * <b>Note:</b> The only functions which can legitimately be called
 * before G_parser() are:
 *
 *  - G_gisinit()
 *  - G_no_gisinit()
 *  - G_define_module()
 *  - G_define_flag()
 *  - G_define_option()
 *  - G_define_standard_flag()
 *  - G_define_standard_option()
 *  - G_disable_interactive()
 *  - G_option_exclusive()
 *  - G_option_required()
 *  - G_option_requires()
 *  - G_option_requires_all()
 *  - G_option_excludes()
 *  - G_option_collective()
 *
 * The usual order a module calls functions is:
 *
 *  1. G_gisinit()
 *  2. G_define_module()
 *  3. G_define_standard_flag()
 *  4. G_define_standard_option()
 *  5. G_define_flag()
 *  6. G_define_option()
 *  7. G_option_exclusive()
 *  8. G_option_required()
 *  9. G_option_requires()
 *  10. G_option_requires_all()
 *  11. G_option_excludes()
 *  12. G_option_collective()
 *  13. G_parser()

 * \param argv argument list
