       --config
              show all configuration variables

       --debug
              enable verbose shell tracing

       -n, --dry-run

       --mode=MODE
              use operation mode MODE

       --no-finish
              don't update shared library cache

       --no-quiet, --no-silent
              print default informational messages

       --no-warnings
              equivalent to '-Wnone'

       --preserve-dup-deps
              don't remove duplicate dependency libraries

       --quiet, --silent
              don't print informational messages

       --reorder-cache=DIRS
              reorder shared library cache for preferred DIRS

       --tag=TAG
              use configuration variables from tag TAG

       -v, --verbose
              print more informational messages than default

       --version
              print version information

       -W, --warnings=CATEGORY
              report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [all]

       -h, --help, --help-all
              print short, long, or detailed help message

   Warning categories include:
       'all'  show all warnings

       'none' turn off all the warnings

       'error'
              warnings are treated as fatal errors

       If a TAG is supplied, it must use one of the tag names below:

       Tag Name
              Language Name

       CC     C

       CXX    C++

       OBJC   Objective-C

       OBJCXX Objective-C++

       GCJ    Java

       F77    Fortran 77

       FC     Fortran

       GO     Go

       RC     Windows Resource

       If you do not see a tag name associated with your programming language,
       then you are using a compiler that libtool does not support.

       MODE must be one of the following:

       clean  remove files from the build directory

       compile
              compile a source file into a libtool object

       execute
              automatically set library path, then run a program

       finish complete the installation of libtool libraries

       install
              install libraries or executables

       link   create a library or an executable

       uninstall
              remove libraries from an installed directory

       MODE-ARGS vary depending on the MODE.  When passed as first option,
       '--mode=MODE' may be abbreviated as 'MODE' or a unique abbreviation of
       that.
