This may be a better description of --description, it sort of warns for the description that splitter puts in the args file.

I think that this is a general remark that would better be documented with the -c option, something like this: -c filename --read-config=filename The given file is opened and each line is an option setting of the form option=value, any option that could be used on the command line can be used, however you omit the leading '--'. The short option names with a single '-' cannot be used, simply use the long name instead. + Note: mkgmap will process options from left to right. Options given + in the command line after "-c filename" will override any options + given in the file. Likewise, command line options specified before + "-c filename" will be overridden by the option file. Please feel free to improve the wording. I wouldn't mention splitter.jar in the help text, because the config file may be edited by hand. Best regards, Marko
