      Options posixOptions = new Options();
      posixOptions.addOption("D", false, "Display");
      posixOptions.addOption("A", false, "Act");
      
      CommandLineParser posixParser = new PosixParser();
      
      CommandLine cmd = posixParser.parse(posixOptions, args);
      
      if( cmd.hasOption("D") ) {
         System.out.println("D option was used.");
