+	  -d <char(s)>, --delim <char(s)>
+	      The character(s) to use as a delimiter between the prefix and section name
+	      when defining the arrays.  The default is "_", except where prefix is set
+	      to an empty value, in which case the default is also empty.  Only
+	      alphanumerics and _ may be used with this option, and it may not begin
+	      with a number if prefix is empty.  To use no delimintaor, use '-d ""'.
+	  -p <prefix>, --prefix <prefix>
+	      The prefix of all the variables set when defining the arrays.  The default
+	      is "INI".  An empty prefix (denoted by "") implies '-d ""', but this can
+	      be overridden by explicitly specifying a delimiter with '-d'.  Only
