4 @c INTERNALS is used by md.texi to determine whether to include the
5 @c whole of that file, in the internals manual, or only the part
6 @c dealing with constraints, in the user manual.
9 @c NOTE: checks/things to do:
11 @c -have bob do a search in all seven files for "mew" (ideally --mew,
12 @c but i may have forgotten the occasional "--"..).
13 @c Just checked... all have `--'! Bob 22Jul96
14 @c Use this to search: grep -n '\-\-mew' *.texi
15 @c -item/itemx, text after all (sub/sub)section titles, etc..
16 @c -consider putting the lists of options on pp 17--> etc in columns or
18 @c -overfulls. do a search for "mew" in the files, and you will see
19 @c overfulls that i noted but could not deal with.
20 @c -have to add text: beginning of chapter 8
23 @c anything else? --mew 10feb93

192 @unnumbered Option Index
194 GCC's command line options are indexed here without any initial @samp{-}
195 or @samp{--}. Where an option has both positive and negative forms
196 (such as @option{-f@var{option}} and @option{-fno-@var{option}}),
197 relevant entries in the manual are indexed under the most appropriate
198 form; it may sometimes be useful to look up both forms.
