Options
Option		Param	Description
	`--no-wildcards`		Disable wildcard parsing and use each filename exactly as specified.
	`--in-order`		Process the input files in order of the command line and don't delete duplicates.
`-i`	`--ignore`		Ignore non existing source files without warning.
`-d`	`--dest`	path	Define a destination path (directory/file). The destination - means: write to standard output. The path may contain escape sequences: %Q is replaced by the fully qualified source name. %P and %F are replaced by the source path or by the filename. %N and %E are replaced by source filename without extension or by the source extension. Finally, %T is replaced by the default extension of the destination format. A '?' direct behind '%' in %E and %T conversions avoid that the same extension is used twice in row.
`-D`	`--DEST`	path	Like `--dest`, but create the directory path automatically.
`-E`	`--esc`	char	Define an alternative escape character for destination files. The default is '%'. For Windows batch files it is a good choice to set '-E$'.
	`--pat`	list	Set global options for PAT processing. Parameter 'list' is a comma separated list of keywords. A minus sign before a keyword disables a setting. Each occurrence of the option will only change entered settings and all other settings are untouched. Keyword DEFAULT resets the default settings and CLEAR disables all. The other allowed keywords are: AUTO, SIMPLE, COMPLEX, BOTH, SILENT and LOG.
`-o`	`--overwrite`		Overwrite already existing files without warning and ignore option `--number`.
	`--number`		If a file already exist, append a number directly before the file extension to make the filename unique. If other numbered files already exist (ignoring case), use the maximum existing index+1. --num is a short cut.
`-r`	`--remove-dest`		Remove already existing files before creating it. If set, `--overwrite` is ignored. --rm-dest is a short cut.
`-u`	`--update`		Update only existing files and don't create new files. If set, `--overwrite` and `--remove-dest` are ignored.
`-p`	`--preserve`		Preserve file times (atime+mtime) while converting or copying files.
`-H`	`--no-header`		Suppress the syntax information section in PAT text files.
`-B`	`--brief`		Suppress cross reference comments.
	`--no-echo`		Suppress output of @ECHO commands while scanning text files.
`-N`	`--no-check`		Do not make plausibility checks for KMP files.
