# list_from_cmdline (<pre_name_of_opt_lists> [<cmdline_arg>...])
#
# Transform command line arguments into a normalized form.
#
# Options, option arguments, and file parameters are identified and
# output each as a single-quoted argument of its own.  Options and
# file parameters are separated by a '--' argument.
#
# Arguments: >=1
#   <pre_name>: common part of a set of 4 environment variable names:
#     $<pre_name>_SHORT_NA:  list of short options without an arg.
#     $<pre_name>_SHORT_ARG: list of short options that have an arg.
#     $<pre_name>_LONG_NA:   list of long options without an arg.
#     $<pre_name>_LONG_ARG:  list of long options that have an arg.
#   <cmdline_arg>...: the arguments from a command line, such as "$@",
#                     the content of a variable, or direct arguments.
#
# Output: ['-[-]opt' ['optarg']]... '--' ['filename']...
#
# Example:
#   list_from_cmdline PRE 'a b' 'c' '' 'long' -a f1 -bcarg --long=larg f2
# If $PRE_SHORT_NA, $PRE_SHORT_ARG, $PRE_LONG_NA, and $PRE_LONG_ARG are
# none-empty option lists, this will result in printing:
#     '-a' '-b' '-c' 'arg' '--long' 'larg' '--' 'f1' 'f2'
#
#   Use this function in the following way:
#     eval set -- "$(args_norm PRE_NAME "$@")";
#     while test "$1" != '--'; do
#       case "$1" in
#       ...
#       esac;
#       shift;

Display roff files, standard input, and/or Unix manual pages with a X
Window viewer or in several text modes.  All input is decompressed
on-the-fly with all formats that gzip can handle.

"filespec" is one of
  "filename"       name of a readable file
  "-"              for standard input
  "man:name.n"     man page "name" in section "n"
  "man:name"       man page "name" in first section found
  "name.n"         man page "name" in section "n"
  "name"           man page "name" in first section found
and some more (see groffer(1) for details).

-h --help        print this usage message.
-Q --source      output as roff source.
-T --device=name pass to groff using output device "name".
-v --version     print version information.
-V               display the groff execution pipe instead of formatting.
-X --X --x       display with "gxditview" using groff -X.
-Z --ditroff --intermediate-output
                 generate groff intermediate output without 
                 post-processing and viewing, like groff -Z.
All other short options are interpreted as "groff" formatting options.

The most important groffer long options are

--apropos=name   start man's "apropos" program for "name".
--apropos-data=name
                 "apropos" for "name" in man's data sections 4, 5, 7.
--apropos-devel=name
                 "apropos" for "name" in development sections 2, 3, 9.
--apropos-progs=name
                 "apropos" for "name" in man's program sections 1, 6, 8.
--auto           choose mode automatically from the default mode list.
--default        reset all options to the default value.
--default-modes=mode1,mode2,...
                 set sequence of automatically tried modes.
--dvi            display in a viewer for TeX device independent format.
--dvi-viewer     choose the viewer program for dvi mode.
--groff          process like groff, disable viewing features.
--help           display this helping output.
--html --www     display in a web browser.
--html-viewer    choose the web browser for www mode.
--man            check file parameters first whether they are man pages.
--mode=auto|dvi|groff|html|pdf|ps|source|text|tty|www|x|X
                 choose display mode.
--no-man         disable man-page facility.
--pager=program  preset the paging program for tty mode.
--pdf            display in a PDF viewer.
--pdf-viewer     choose the viewer program for pdf mode.
--ps             display in a Postscript viewer.
--ps-viewer      choose the viewer program for ps mode.
--shell          specify shell under which to run this program.
--text           output in a text device without a pager.
--tty            display with a pager on text terminal even when in X.
--www-viewer     same as --html-viewer
--x-viewer       choose viewer program for x mode (X mode).
--X-viewer       same as "--xviewer".

The usual X Windows toolkit options transformed into GNU long options
--background=color, --bd=size, --bg=color, --bordercolor=color,
--borderwidth=size, --bw=size, --display=Xdisplay, --fg=color,
--fn=font, --font=font, --foreground=color, --geometry=geom, --iconic,
--resolution=dpi, --rv, --title=text, --xrm=resource

Long options of GNU "man"
 --all, --ascii, --ditroff, --extension=suffix, --locale=language,
--local-file=name, --location, --manpath=dir1:dir2:...,
--sections=s1:s2:..., --systems=s1,s2,..., --whatis, --where, ...
