Command line options are distinguished from filenames by having a `-' prefix. Options can appear anywhere on the command line, i.e. before, after or in between filenames. When incompatible option are specified the last one given on the command line takes effect.
The first filename given on the command line is taken to be the input molecule file, and the optional second filename is treated as the output molecule file. A minus character may be used in place of the input filename to specify that the input is to be read from standard input, stdin, and in place of the output filename to specify that the output is to be written to standard output, stdout. If only one filename is specified on the command line, the output is written to stdout by default.
