-The symbol type. At least the following types are used; others are, as

-Display symbols which have a target-specific special meaning. These
-symbols are usually used by the target for some special processing and
-are not normally helpful when included in the normal symbol lists.

-does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
-literally, and not removed.
-.Sp
-Options in \fIfile\fR are separated by whitespace. A whitespace
