option that requires them.
For options whose names are multiple letters, either one dash or two can
-precede the option name; for example, @samp{-oformat} and
-@samp{--oformat} are equivalent. Arguments to multiple-letter options
-must either be separated from the option name by an equals sign, or be
-given as separate arguments immediately following the option that
-requires them. For example, @samp{--oformat srec} and
-@samp{--oformat=srec} are equivalent. Unique abbreviations of the names
-of multiple-letter options are accepted.
+precede the option name; for example, @samp{-trace-symbol} and
+@samp{--trace-symbol} are equivalent. Note - there is one exception to
+this rule. Multiple letter options that start with a lower case 'o' can
+only be preceeded by two dashes. This is to reduce confusion with the
+@samp{-o} option. So for example @samp{-omagic} sets the output file
+name to @samp{magic} whereas @samp{--omagic} sets the NMAGIC flag on the
+output.

Note - if the linker is being invoked indirectly, via a compiler driver
(eg @samp{gcc}) then all the linker command line options should be
ONE_DASH,

TWO_DASHES,

+ This is an overloading of the use of this enum, since originally it
+ was only intended to tell the --help display function how to display
+ the long option name. This feature was added in order to resolve
+ the confusion about the -omagic command line switch. Is it setting
+ the output file name to "magic" or is it setting the NMAGIC flag on
+ the output ? It has been decided that it is setting the output file
+ name, and that if you want to set the NMAGIC flag you should use -N
+ or --omagic. */
