It is "designed" around the Unix/GNU approach (-f hello.txt or --file
hello.txt) but it really does not make
the -this assumption. Will work just file with /X /A /C style "Win32"
arguments but it will then not accept win32
style subarguments (since they are often concatentated onto the argument in
question (e.g. format /T:80)

Nothing stops you from using Unix like options on win32 platforms. Plenty of
programs do.

Granted on vxWorks it probably won't work for calling arbitrary routines
from the target shell.

On an osless non-command-line OS it might not work at all.
