This chapter describes @command{chpsim}'s command-line options.  

Usage:
@samp{hacchpsim [@var{options}] @var{obj-file}}

To pass a script to @command{hacchpsim}, use shell redirection or pipes.
For example,
@example
$ @kbd{cat test.chpsimrc | hacchpsim -b test.haco}
@end example

or

@example
$ @kbd{hacchpsim -b test.haco < test.chpsimrc}
@end example

@c These might be better managed in the source file for ease of maintainence.
For options that take an argument, the space between the flag
and the argument is optional.  

@defopt @r{@i{none}}
With no arguments, just print a list of all command-line options, 
much like what is summarized below.

@node General Flags
@section General Flags
@cindex flags, general

For lack of better organization, many general purpose flags
are folded into the @option{-f} option.
Unless otherwise noted, 
all @option{-f} options have a @option{no-} prefixed counterpart, 
so @option{-f no-disassemble} is the intuitive negation
of @option{-f disassemble}.  
Later options always override earlier options.

@node Graph Generation
@section Graph Generation
@cindex flags, graph

The following flags are relevant only with @option{-f dump-dot-struct}.
All of these options are also negatable with @option{no-} prefixed.  
Don't forget to pass @option{-f no-run} when not intending to run the 
interpreter.
