Synopsis

Function: options
Usage:

options f
Inputs:
- f, a command, a command, a function, a sequence, or an integer,
Outputs:
- an option table, an option table or a Boolean value,

Description

The keys of the output are the names of the optional arguments accepted by the function f and the values are the corresponding default values; or true, if the function accepts arbitrary options and provides no default values.
