2 Invocation
************

'dc' may be invoked with the following command-line options:

'-e EXPR'
'--expression=EXPR'
     Evaluate EXPR as 'dc' commands.

'-f FILE'
'--file=FILE'
     Read and evaluate 'dc' commands from FILE.

'-h'
'--help'
     Print a usage message summarizing the command-line options, then
     exit.

'-V'
'--version'
     Print the version information for this program, then exit.

   If any command-line parameters remain after processing the options,
these parameters are interpreted as additional FILEs whose contents are
read and evaluated.  A file name of '-' refers to the standard input
stream.  If no '-e' option was specified, and no files were specified,
then the standard input will be read for commands to evaluate.
