5 engine - load and query engines
25 The B<engine> command is used to query the status and capabilities
26 of the specified B<engine>'s.
27 Engines may be specified before and after all other command-line flags.
28 Only those specified are queried.
34 =item B<-v> B<-vv> B<-vvv> B<-vvvv>
36 Provides information about each specified engine. The first flag lists
37 all the possible run-time control commands; the second adds a
38 description of each command; the third adds the input flags, and the
39 final option adds the internal input flags.
43 Lists the capabilities of each engine.
47 Tests if each specified engine is available, and displays the answer.
51 Displays an error trace for any unavailable engine.
53 =item B<-pre> I<command>
55 =item B<-post> I<command>
57 Command-line configuration of engines.
58 The B<-pre> command is given to the engine before it is loaded and
59 the B<-post> command is given after the engine is loaded.
60 The I<command> is of the form I<cmd:val> where I<cmd> is the command,
61 and I<val> is the value for the command.
62 See the example below.
