28 -- This package scans front end switches. Note that the body of Usage must be
29 -- coordinated with the switches that are recognized by this package.
30 -- The Usage package also acts as the official documentation for the
31 -- switches that are recognized. In addition, package Debug documents
32 -- the otherwise undocumented debug switches that are also recognized.
36 procedure Scan_Front_End_Switches
(Switch_Chars
: String);
37 -- Procedures to scan out front end switches stored in the given string.
38 -- The first character is known to be a valid switch character, and there
39 -- are no blanks or other switch terminator characters in the string, so
40 -- the entire string should consist of valid switch characters, except that
41 -- an optional terminating NUL character is allowed. A bad switch causes
42 -- a fatal error exit and control does not return. The call also sets
43 -- Usage_Requested to True if a ? switch is encountered.
