  24 This little utility makes it easier to use passes that
  25 take multiple input and output files on the command-line
  26 by giving a different interface. It simply runs the command
  27 <I>progname</I> with <I>infiles</I> as the input file names and
  28 generates the output file names from these by replacing
  29 the input file names with the suffix <B>.</B><I>out-suffix.</I> <B>argh</B>
  30 assumes that <I>progname</I> expects its command-line in the form
  31 of alternating input and output file names. Arguments
  32 beginning with ``-'' are assumed to be flags instead of
  33 input files, so they are passed through unchanged to <I>prog</I><B>_</B>n<I>ame.</I>
  34 The special flag ``--'' is assumed to mark the end
  35 of the flags, so all subsequent arguments are taken as
  36 file names, even if they begin with ``-''. The ``--''
  37 flag is also passed through to <I>progname.</I>
